Is the 2013 Mito getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 67.8% -6.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 70.2% -2.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 66.5% -5.6 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.
