Is the 2014 Korando getting worse?
Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 66.5% -11.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 63.0% -12.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 63.6% -10.8 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.
