DVLA/DVSA vehicle and MOT data, 2025*
See how Toyota vehicles have performed in MOT tests, then use the results to focus your used-vehicle checks.
- Compare Toyota pass rates with the Great Britain result
- See how results change by vehicle age and model
- Check common MOT faults before viewing a vehicle
These results are MOT reliability indicators for groups of vehicles. They cannot predict the condition of one vehicle.

Toyota Rate After Allowing For Vehicle Age
The recorded comparison uses the test results as supplied. The adjusted rate allows for differences in vehicle age.
What this does not tell you: manufacturer statistics describe groups of recorded tests. They cannot prove whether one Toyota is reliable or predict its next MOT result.
Toyota MOT Results Compared With Other Manufacturers
Toyota ranked 14 of 37 after applying the same Great Britain vehicle-age profile to every qualifying manufacturer. This reduces the effect of one manufacturer having an older or newer mix of vehicles.

Common Toyota MOT Faults
These are the most frequently recorded specific failure items in the 2025 Toyota data. The percentages are shares of recorded failure items, not shares of tests. A failed test can contain more than one item.
Toyota Model MOT Pass Rates
15 models met the minimum of 5,000 Class 4 tests. Class 4 covers cars, taxis and certain light commercial vehicles, so qualifying model tables may include vans. The table is ordered by outright first-time pass rate. These model rates are not age-adjusted, so different age profiles can affect the comparison.
YARIS DESIGN HEV CVT recorded the highest rate in this qualifying set at 92.6% across 26,901 tests. RAV-4 recorded the lowest at 71.3% across 33,650 tests. This is a historical MOT comparison, not a prediction for every example of either model.

Toyota MOT Results And Reliability FAQs
Does an MOT pass rate measure reliability?
It is one reliability indicator. The 2025 Class 4 data shows how Toyota vehicles performed at MOT tests. It does not measure breakdowns, durability, repair costs or the condition of one vehicle.
What does passed first time mean?
An outright first-time pass means the initial recorded test result was a pass, before any repair at the test station or retest.
Which Toyota model had the highest MOT pass rate?
YARIS DESIGN HEV CVT recorded the highest outright first-time rate among qualifying models at 92.6%. Only models with at least 5,000 tests are included, and these model results are not age-adjusted.
Can I check a Toyota's MOT history for free?
Yes. The free MOT history can show recorded passes, failures, advisories and mileage from official MOT records for the registration you enter.
What does the Premium Vehicle Report add?
It adds available checks for outstanding finance, stolen records, write-off and salvage history, mileage, recalls, valuation and other vehicle data for the individual registration.
