Best Year to Buy?

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2016 model has the highest MOT pass rate at 98%, while the 2008 model has the lowest at 80%. The 2024 scores 88%, but cars from 2024 weren't due their first routine MOT until 2027, so its figure isn't compared here. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger, so compare years of a similar age.
