How TESLA compares

TESLA has an MOT pass rate of 64.5%, against 69.4% across every make in the national record. That is 693,641 tests and 520,013 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 TESLA vehicles fail on.

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

Figures cover every TESLA 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.
