Best Year to Buy?

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2018 model has the highest MOT pass rate at 89%, while the 2004 model has the lowest at 72%. The 2023 scores 99%, but cars from 2023 weren't due their first routine MOT until 2026, 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.
