Most reliable cars by MOT results

392 car models ranked by the UK Motoring Reliability Score: 50 is exactly as expected for cars of the same age and annual mileage, and higher is better. No model is marked down for being old or for being driven hard, only for being in worse condition than cars that old and that busy.

Among cars with at least 50,000 MOT tests in 2025, the Porsche 911 scores highest at 82 out of 100, where 50 is as expected for cars of the same age and mileage. The Dacia Sandero scores lowest at 26. Across every scored model the top spot goes to the Aston Martin DB9 on 88: expensive cars fill the top of the table, partly because of how they were built and partly because of how thoroughly they are looked after.

Best and worst by class

For the models we have classed (city car, supermini, family SUV and so on), the highest and lowest scoring in each class. Classes are our labels, not DVLA’s, and cover 64 scored models.

Petrol, diesel, hybrid and electric

By the fuel DVSA records for each car tested. Electric and hybrid cars are mostly young, so their high raw pass rates largely reflect age; against cars of the same ages the gaps are small. Hybrids include plug-in hybrids.

How the ranking works

The ranking is the UK Motoring Reliability Score: how often a model fails its MOT and how often a tester finds a dangerous defect, each against what cars of the same age and annual mileage record. 50 is exactly as expected, higher is better, and the 95% range is shown with every score. Failure rate counts for three quarters of it and dangerous defects for the remaining quarter.

Mileage matters as much as age. A car that covers 3,000 miles a year should fail less often than one covering 15,000, so standardising on age alone would reward cars that barely move. Annual mileage comes from consecutive MOT odometer readings, which is why 99 models here have a pass rate but no score: too few of their tests could be paired to measure it.

The pass rate is still in the table, against what all cars of the same ages score, because it is the figure people know. A first-time pass means the car passed its normal MOT with no defects to fix; a pass after a repair at the test station counts as a failure, and retests are left out.

The score measures the condition of cars on the road, which is the product of how they were built and how they have been kept. Expensive cars are maintained more thoroughly, and they fill the top of the table accordingly. What the score does not measure is breakdowns, warranty claims, or what a repair costs.

Data sources and methodology

Datasets used on this page
Figures Source Period Records Updated
MOT results Anonymised MOT tests and results Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency
Derived statistics UK Motoring 		2025 29,122,953 car MOT tests 19 September 2026
  • Normal MOT tests of cars aged three and over in Great Britain, 2025. Retests are excluded.
  • A model needs 2,000 tests with a measured annual mileage before it is scored, and a 95% range no wider than five points either side. 99 models here fall short and show a pass rate only.
  • DVSA records the model name typed in at the test; we match those names to DVLA’s generic models. Models whose tests are mixed with vans of the same name are left out.
