2020 Toyota Proace MOT pass rate: 84.6% (4,540 tests)
Is the 2020 Proace getting worse?
Pass rate of 2020-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 85.1% -5.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 83.7% -6.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 85.0% -4.0 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.

FAQs
Is a 2020 Toyota Proace reliable?

What mileage is too high for a 2020 Proace?
The median tested example shows 48,846 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.
