How Tata compares

Tata has an MOT pass rate of 56.5%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 29,638 tests and 1,046 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 Tata vehicles fail on.

Figures cover every Tata 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.
