Statistics come from vehicles analysed through VehicleScore. Counts use unique vehicles, so repeated searches do not change the figures. MOT tests are stored once. The MOT pass rate uses only recognised pass and fail results. Sample sizes vary by metric. This dataset does not represent every vehicle on UK roads.
