How Dennis compares

Dennis has an MOT pass rate of 13.8%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 58,475 tests and 4,652 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 Dennis vehicles fail on.

Figures cover every Dennis 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.
