How Chevrolet models compare on the MOT
The spread across Chevrolet models is wide — 76.6% for the Trax at the top and 67.0% for the Kalos at the bottom, a 9.6-point gap across 5,496 and 9,989 recorded tests respectively. Most Chevrolet models sit much closer to the middle (around 70.0%, on 23,583 tests for the Captiva). 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 2005–2022 data years: 217,464 tests across 16 Chevrolet 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.
