1007: a below-average pass rate worth digging into

Across 3,189 MOT tests, the 1007 returns 67.7% first-time pass — well below the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a number-plate lamp out. A lamp out and wipers that don't clear the screen round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 67,808, 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 a 1007?

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 1007 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.
