Pass rates

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

How Daihatsu models compare on the MOT

The spread across Daihatsu models is wide — 77.8% for the Materia at the top and 71.2% for the Charade at the bottom, a 6.6-point gap across 2,239 and 4,337 recorded tests respectively. Most Daihatsu models sit much closer to the middle (around 75.0%, on 22,729 tests for the Sirion). 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 2000–2010 data years: 53,147 tests across 11 Daihatsu 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 Daihatsu 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.
