MoT Pass Rates - How's Your Car's Reputation?

Actually that's even more interesting than I expected. Taking the number of cars that have gained MoT's during the year as being equivalent to the roadworthy population - failures are either going to have retested and passed or been layed up or scrapped - then we get:

Roadworthy Population

Maxi 100
Allegro 210
Ital 102
Princess 45
Ambassador 34
Montego 1208
Maestro 3102
Metro 20894
SD1 428

I'm surprised how few SD1's there are and surprised how many Metro's there are (and I didn't include the 115's etc). Rarest car of the era award goes convincingly to the Princess/Ambassador with only 79 examples between them! No surprises there then!

He limited the cars in his tables to the most popular models - those that have had at least 20,000 tests.
 
Interesting but I'm not sure it has any value, 30 - 50% failure rate must mean that a large proportion of the population never have their cars serviced or carry out minimum checks such as do all the lights still work

If you look at the Rover 100 it starts in 1953, but I suspect the later figures have been poluted with the Austin rubbish.

The figures are all pre computerised system so the model / make will be an interpretation, 1st of the testers description of the car and 2nd of the data capture persons reading of the testers hand writing.
