The picture
Evito Progressive: a strong MOT record by UK norms
Across 1,420 MOT tests, the Evito Progressive returns 93.7% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a missing CV-joint boot. A seriously damaged tyre and a weak handbrake round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 12,509, 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.

Buying or keeping an Evito Progressive?
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 an Evito Progressive 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.
