Suzuki MOT pass rates by model and age

401,272 initial MOT tests in 2025 · DVSA data · For guidance only · How we count

74.2%passed first time

First-time pass rate of every Suzuki model in our data together: initial tests passed with no repairs. The same-age average for all vehicles first used in the same years is 72.4%.

That is 1.8 points above the same-age average. Of the 10 Suzuki models listed below, 7 are above the same-age average, 2 are below it and 1 can't be told apart from it.

An MOT pass rate is one signal: it doesn't record breakdowns or repair costs, and it also reflects mileage and upkeep.
