2020 Levc Tx MOT pass rate: 95.6% (4,443 tests)
Is the 2020 Tx getting worse?
Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 96.6% +5.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 94.8% +4.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 95.3% +6.3 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.

FAQs
Is a 2020 Levc Tx reliable?
2020-registered examples passed 95.6% of their MOT tests (4,443 tests, 2023–2025), +5.6 points versus all UK cars registered in the same year. At roughly 6 years old with a median 90,673 miles, condition now varies car by car — always check the individual MOT history.
What mileage is too high for a 2020 Tx?
The median tested example shows 90,673 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
