Toyota MOT pass rates by model

How many Toyota cars are still on the road?

At the end of 2025, DVLA's register held 2,001,698 Toyota cars that were taxed or on SORN: 1,825,831 taxed and 175,867 on SORN (Statutory Off Road Notification — kept, but declared off the road by the keeper), so 91.2% of them were taxed. DVLA lists 65 named Toyota car models, counted across the whole United Kingdom. A further 40,408 taxed Toyota cars are on the register with no model name recorded; they are in the totals here and under no model below. These are counts of cars, not tests, and cars only: vans, pickups and motorhomes are recorded as goods vehicles or motor caravans in the licensing data and are not in these figures, whereas the MOT figures above include Toyota's car-derived vans and pickups. The model table below carries the count for each model DVLA records under a name of its own.

How Toyota cars age

First-time pass rate by vehicle age, Toyota vs all cars, 2025.

Better or worse than the average car?

Toyota's pass rate minus the all-cars pass rate at each age, in percentage points. Bars above zero: Toyota beats the average car of that age. Below zero: it trails.

The Toyota fleet on the road, by age

How many Toyota cars of each age took a first MOT in 2025 — the shape of the Toyota fleet still in use.

What a Toyota fails on

Where the failure items land when a Toyota fails or needs a fix at test, 2025. Every make has a signature — this is Toyota's.

Share of all failure items, 2025 — the 8 biggest categories shown (97.5% of the items); smaller categories are not listed.

The advisories to watch

Where testers most often write "keep an eye on this" on a Toyota, 2025 — the faults in the post.

Petrol, diesel or hybrid Toyota?

First-time pass rate for the five most-tested fuel types, 2025, against the all-cars average. Fleet ages differ by fuel — newer fleets help the electrified bars.

What mileage is normal for a Toyota?

Mileage recorded at test by vehicle age, all Toyota class-4 vehicles, 2025. The line is the typical (median) Toyota; the shaded band holds the middle half. A car far outside the band, in either direction, is worth questions the recorded history can answer.

Every Toyota model in the data

First-time pass rate per model, 2025. Every model with at least 2,000 tests is listed — all 31 of them, ordered by number of tests; models with 5,000+ tests link to their own page. All trims and variants are grouped under one model name; models marked (van) or (car and van) are tested in the same class-4 MOT. Pass rates are unadjusted for age: models with older fleets sit lower. The last three columns are the number of that model on DVLA's register at the end of 2025 — taxed, on SORN, and the taxed share — from the licensing statistics rather than the MOT record. They are left blank for vans, pickups and car-and-van models, which the licensing data counts as goods vehicles rather than cars, and for models DVLA does not record under a name of their own. DVLA's model groupings do not always draw the line where the MOT grouping does; each model page says what its count covers.

Toyota models ranked by pass rate

All 18 grouped Toyota car models with 5,000 or more first tests in 2025, highest first-time pass rate first — the full field at that floor. Only models sold purely as cars are ranked; van and pickup models appear in the table above but are not ranked among cars. Pass rates are unadjusted for fleet age — a model whose fleet runs older sits lower for that reason alone. Neighbouring rows can be effectively level, and models sharing a published rate share a rank.
