The picture
Across 8,912 MOT tests, the Tx returns 88.9% 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 tyre tread under the limit round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 61,193, 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 4.7-point gap between bands means the year you buy Levc TX has a real effect on what turns up at the garage.
Best band to buy
90.7%
2021+ registration
the 2021-on band climbs to 90.7% — a 4.7-point improvement. Tests in this band average 50,678 miles — roughly 57K 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. Post-2020 examples are early in their MOT life and generally show the cleanest records.
Band to be cautious about
86.0%
2018–2020 registration
On the 2018–2020 band, the data shows a 86.0% pass rate against a fleet average of 90.7% on the newer band. The main culprits logged at test: damaged but not adversely affecting driver's view, pin or bush excessively worn, and tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm. Average mileage on test for this band is 107,211 miles — high-mileage wear items are a recurring theme.
Best band to buy: 2021+ (90.7% first-time pass). Worst band to avoid: 2018-2020 (86.0% pass). That's a 4.7-point spread across 6,410 older tests and 10,599 newer ones — year of build makes a material difference on this model.

Recall history
The TX has 2 official UK vehicle recalls covering defect details, remedies, and affected build dates.
Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.
If you own a TX and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
