About Morgan Cars
Morgan ranks joint 10th out of 70 car makes in our data (those with at least 1,000 MOT tests) by average MOT pass rate, at 92%. That's 7 points above the 85% average across all models in our data, making Morgan one of the more dependable brands on UK roads.
With 9 models across 32 years of data (1990 to 2021), there's a narrow spread of just 2 percentage points between models, meaning Morgan reliability is fairly consistent across the range.
