2020 MG Hs Exclusive MOT pass rate: 91.1% (2,901 tests)
Is the 2020 Hs Exclusive getting worse?
Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 91.9% +1.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 92.7% +2.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 89.0% +0.1 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.
