Van MOT pass rates
43 van models from 5,031,963 MOT tests in 2024. Average van pass rate: 77.8%. Vans typically score lower than cars due to higher mileage and heavier use.
Vans work harder than cars — higher annual mileage, heavier loads, and often less attentive maintenance. The average van pass rate of 77.8% reflects this. Suspension and brakes are the most common failure areas across all van models.
If you're buying a used van, the mileage column is particularly useful — commercial vehicles can accumulate miles quickly. Check the individual vehicle's MOT history on GOV.UK to see its mileage progression and any advisories.
