The quick read

AutoRank found 235,793 vehicles registered in June 2023.

That makes June 2026 a busy first-MOT month. The top two model records were both Tesla Model Y entries.

EVs made up 35,926 registrations in the group, or about 15.2%.

What to check first

First MOTs are often less scary than older-car MOTs, but tyres and lights still matter.

Three years is plenty of time to wear out tyres, chip a windscreen or ignore a wiper that smears in the rain.

A ten-minute check before booking can save an annoying fail.

Brand comparison

Looking at three-year-old May MOT tests, Porsche, Honda, Volvo, Suzuki and Toyota were near the top of the filtered pass-rate table.

This is not only about brand quality. Usage, mileage and vehicle type still matter.
