That is 2,885,165 tests and 929,475 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.

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

Figures cover every Triumph 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.
