Is the 2016 Korando getting worse?
Pass rate of 2016-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 73.7% -9.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 70.5% -10.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 68.6% -11.0 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.
