Rover MOT pass rates
Rover’s first-time fail rate across 4 models was 29.1%, worse than the national 22.6%. The spread between models below is the interesting part.
| Model | Tests | Pass rate | Fail rate | Median miles |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini | 10,019 | 75.6% | 24.4% | 52,710 |
| 75 | 5,816 | 64.7% | 35.3% | 99,813 |
| 25 | 2,281 | 68.8% | 31.2% | 63,293 |
| 45 | 1,413 | 65.7% | 34.3% | 73,807 |
Fail rates are first attempts at class 4 normal tests in 2025, from DVSA’s anonymised data (retrieved 2026-09-12). Age mix drives a lot of the spread: a model sold mostly since 2020 will beat one whose survivors average 15 years old. Each model page shows the rate by age band.
