Daily 35s12 Mwb: a below-average pass rate worth digging into

Across 692 MOT tests, the Daily 35s12 Mwb returns 61.1% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is the strength or continuity of the load bearing. Windscreen damage and a weak handbrake round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 145,070, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
