About the Toyota Noah

The Toyota Noah was MOT tested 1,815 times in 2024 (DVSA data, retests included) across 15 model years (2006 to 2021), with an average pass rate of 88%. That's comfortably above the average of 82% across all models in our data. Our records list hybrid and petrol versions.

Best and Worst Years

Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2021 model has the highest pass rate at 98% from 124 tests. The 2017 model has the lowest at 86%. The 12 point gap means pass rates vary somewhat between years, but no year is dramatically different. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.

Reliability Trend

Newer Toyota Noahs pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 6 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.

Mileage Across Years

The oldest model in our data (2006) averages 101,412 miles, while the newest (2021) averages 36,873 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.

Compared to the Toyota brand average of 84%, the Noah performs 4 points better, making it one of the more reliable options in the Toyota range.
