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

What Perodua cars fail on

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

• Wipers — 5.2% of Perodua tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
• Exhaust Emissions — 4.8% of Perodua tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
• Suspension Arms — 4.3% of Perodua tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
• Anti-roll Bars — 4.2% of Perodua tests. Worn anti-roll bar links or bushes. Inexpensive but often recurring.
• Position Lamps — 3.8% of Perodua tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
• Condition — 3.7% of Perodua tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.

Common questions

What is the Perodua MOT pass rate?

67.1% of 1,680 class-4 initial MOT tests on Perodua cars passed first time in 2024 — below the 71.2% UK average across all published models.

Which Perodua has the best MOT pass rate?

Of the Perodua model groups with a substantial sample, the Myvi has the highest initial pass rate at 67.1% across 1,680 tests. Pass rates track vehicle age closely, so newer model groups tend to sit higher.

Does a good Perodua 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.
