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.

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
