The answer from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records.

How Aston Martin models compare on the MOT

The spread across Aston Martin models is wide — 95.8% for the DB11 at the top and 88.8% for the DB7 at the bottom, a 7.0-point gap across 7,299 and 3,579 recorded tests respectively. Most Aston Martin models sit much closer to the middle (around 92.7%, on 2,536 tests for the Rapide). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.

Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2000–2022 data years: 61,966 tests across 14 Aston Martin models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.

Other Aston Martin models

Fewer than 2,000 tests each, so they are not ranked — every model still has its own pass-rate page.

Reading the numbers

A pass rate covers every completed test recorded for that model and year, including retests. First-attempt figures are lower. See how we calculate.
