United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. This covers cars DVLA records under this version’s name only; the Volkswagen Jetta page covers every version. How we use engine sizes.

Volkswagen Jetta MOT reliability

In 2025, 64.8% of Volkswagen Jetta MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages pass 64.0% of the time, so the Volkswagen Jetta does about as well as average for its age.

DVSA's MOT results name the model, not the version, so these figures cover all Volkswagen Jettas tested, the SE B-Motion Tech among them. For the full breakdown, including defects in detail and results year by year, see the Volkswagen Jetta page.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately, from 2015.
  • This version groups DVLA’s detailed model names “JETTA SE B-MOTION TECH TSI S-A”. Engine size, gearbox, number of doors and fuel are ignored, so every engine and gearbox counts together.
  • Survival compares the number still registered (licensed or SORN) with the number first registered since 2001. Other versions are those of the same model with the same average year of first registration.
