Levc TX MOT pass rate & common failures
From 17,201 recorded MOT tests of the Levc TX, published by DVSA.
Data updated
Quick answer
Across 17,201 MOT tests, 90.7% of Levc TX tests ended in a pass. This figure is not adjusted for age or mileage, so it is not a reliability ranking: the Levc TX fleet does not yet cover a wide enough spread of ages and distances to compare it fairly against other models. Its most commonly recorded failure is suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn, which appears in 63.7% of failed tests. Cars of this model average 93,927 miles on the odometer when tested.
At a glance
Recorded pass rate
We are not publishing a ranking for the TX. The examples tested do not cover a wide enough spread of ages and mileages to compare it fairly, and an unadjusted pass rate mostly sorts models by how recently they were bought rather than how well they were built. The failure and advisory patterns below come from the same 17,201 tests and are worth reading on their own terms.

Known faults
Levc TX common problems, by part and by year
The same failure record read the way a buyer asks the question: which parts wear out on a TX, when they start, and how each registration year compares — including the steps that mark a generation change.

Common questions
- How reliable is the Levc TX compared with other cars?
- We do not publish a comparison for the Levc TX, because the cars of this model that have been tested do not cover a wide enough range of ages and mileages. Its raw pass rate is 90.7% across 17,201 tests, but comparing a raw rate between models mostly ranks them by how new they are rather than how good they are. The failure and advisory patterns further down the page are still drawn from real tests and are worth reading.
- What is the most common MOT failure on a Levc TX?
- The item recorded most often is "A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn", which appears in 63.7% of failed Levc TX tests. Because one failed test can list several items, these shares do not add up to 100%.
- What do testers most often warn about on a Levc TX?
- The most common advisory is "A suspension pin, bush or joint excessively worn", noted on 12.0% of all Levc TX tests. An advisory is not a failure: it flags something that will likely need attention before the next test.
- What mileage does a Levc TX usually have at its MOT?
- The average odometer reading recorded at test is 93,927 miles. This is the mileage across all tested examples of every age, not an annual figure, so treat it as a description of the fleet rather than a target for one car.
- Are most Levc TX models petrol or diesel?
- Of the Levc TX cars tested, 99% are hybrid, 1% are electric. Fuel type affects which items tend to fail, particularly emissions and exhaust components.
How this was worked out
Method and limits
Figures come from the DVSA anonymised MOT testing dataset, published under the Open Government Licence. Only class 4 initial tests are counted: retests are excluded so a car appears once, and abandoned tests are excluded entirely. No adjusted rate is shown because this model's tested examples do not cover enough of the national age and mileage range for standardisation to mean anything.
An MOT measures whether a car met a legal standard on the day. It is not a breakdown record, a service history or a running-cost estimate, and a pass rate is a property of a fleet rather than a prediction about one car.
