For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 91.8% from 157,985 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 67. The current pool shows an average of 51,102 miles and an average age of 6.8 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 74,458 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by diesel, and the most frequent defect themes are windscreen damage, tyre condition and driveshaft boots.
