The picture
Across 2,439 MOT tests, the Tx Vista Comfort Plus returns 88.3% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is windscreen damage. Wipers that don't clear the screen and brake pads worn below 1.5 mm round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 102,769, 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.

Year-band analysis
First-time MOT pass rate split by registration band. A 1.4-point gap between bands is modest — the year you buy Levc TX Vista Comfort Plus makes a small but real difference to MOT outcomes.
Best band to buy
89.6%
2018–2020 registration
the 2018–2020 band climbs to 89.6% — a 1.4-point improvement. Tests in this band average 125,834 miles — roughly 12K miles fewer on the clock than the older band. Failures here are mostly wear items: pin or bush excessively worn, damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view — the structural issues that drag down older examples don't appear in the top-10 for this band. The stricter post-2018 MOT test rules meant manufacturers had to tighten up emissions and electrical checks, but this band still shows far fewer major failures on suspension and bodywork than the older fleet.
Band to be cautious about
88.2%
Pre-2018 registration
On the older band (pre-2018), the data shows a 88.2% pass rate against a fleet average of 89.6% on the newer band. The main culprits logged at test: damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view, has a serious fluid leak, and pin or bush excessively worn. Average mileage on test for this band is 138,207 miles — high-mileage wear items are a recurring theme.
Best band to buy: 2018-2020 (89.6% first-time pass). Worst band to avoid: pre-2018 (88.2% pass). That's a 1.4-point spread across 348 older tests and 2,839 newer ones — year of build makes a material difference on this model.
