Is the 2007 Rodeo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2007-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 63.4% -1.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 59.9% -5.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 62.8% -2.6 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.
