MOT pass rates / LEVC

LEVC MOT pass rates and common failures

LEVC cars passed 88.4% of their MOTs first time in 2024, across 7,007 class-4 initial tests and 2 model groups. That is above the 71.2% UK average, and ranks LEVC 5th of 59 makes in the dataset.

Pass rates track age more strongly than badge: an older LEVC is compared here against older cars of every other make, so read the age table below before drawing conclusions about the brand.

Checking a LEVC?

Make-level pass rates cannot reveal the condition or provenance of one car.

What LEVC cars fail on

The items most often behind a first-test failure across LEVC model groups, as a share of LEVC tests. DVSA publishes each model group's six most common categories, so this ranks the biggest published causes rather than every possible one.

  • Tread Depth — 2.6% of LEVC tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
  • Suspension Arms — 2.6% of LEVC tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
  • Wipers — 1.6% of LEVC tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
  • Washers — 1.4% of LEVC tests. Empty or blocked washers. Trivial, but again a sign of the last owner's care.
  • Mechanical Brake Components — 1% of LEVC tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
  • Condition — 0.6% of LEVC tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
  • Service Brake Pedal or Hand Lever — 0.3% of LEVC tests. A fault with the brake pedal or handbrake lever itself.

Common questions

What is the LEVC MOT pass rate?

88.4% of 7,007 class-4 initial MOT tests on LEVC cars passed first time in 2024 — above the 71.2% UK average across all published models.

Which LEVC has the best MOT pass rate?

Of the LEVC model groups with a substantial sample, the TX Vista Comfort Plus has the highest initial pass rate at 89% across 2,083 tests. Pass rates track vehicle age closely, so newer model groups tend to sit higher.

Does a good LEVC pass rate mean the car I am looking at is fine?

No. A model-level rate describes a population, not one vehicle. Enter the registration for that car's own MOT, tax and mileage record, and check for outstanding finance, write-off and stolen markers before you buy.

Methodology and limitations

MOT outcomes describe testable items at the time of inspection. They are not a measure of overall mechanical reliability.

Scope: Class 4 normal initial MOT tests completed in 2024. Models require at least 1,000 qualifying tests. Duplicate source rows are removed using official DVSA test IDs.

Source: Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency anonymised MOT tests and results, 2024, published 2025-05-23 under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
