How the MG B compares

The MG B has an MOT pass rate of 67.3%, against 63.8% across all MG vehicles, and 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 384,213 tests for this model and 4,146,055 for the make, so the comparison rests on the whole national record rather than a sample of it. See what MG B models fail on.

A test can find problems in more than one category, so these figures do not sum to 100%. Common MG B MOT failures has the full breakdown and how it is worked out.

Check a specific MG B

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

Figures cover every MG B 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. Some MOT records describe the same model with extra trim or engine detail attached; where that detail is a recognised trim or drivetrain code, the vehicle is counted under the base model shown here rather than treated as a separate one.
