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