How Austin compares

Austin has an MOT pass rate of 8.5%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 3,469,172 tests and 55,465 since 2012 with a defect code to categorise, so the figure rests on the whole national record for this make rather than a sample of it. See what Austin vehicles fail on.

Check a specific Austin

These are averages. For one vehicle's actual test history, enter its registration.

Figures cover every Austin in the national MOT record, which includes vehicles since scrapped or exported, so "on record" is not a count of cars on the road. Pass rate counts every recorded MOT test, retests included.
