Lexus MOT pass rates
Lexus MOT pass rates, ranked across 31 models and 478,697 DVSA MOT tests between 2000 and 2023, from the Ux (96.3%) to the RX300 (77.7%). The tables below compare every model with enough tests to rank, list the most-tested models, and link to each model's own pass-rate and fault pages.
How Lexus models compare on the MOT
The spread across Lexus models is wide — 96.3% for the Ux at the top and 77.7% for the RX300 at the bottom, a 18.6-point gap across 36,403 and 12,427 recorded tests respectively. Most Lexus models sit much closer to the middle (around 83.4%, on 6,137 tests for the SC430). 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 2000–2023 data years: 478,697 tests across 31 Lexus 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.

Ranked by aggregate pass rate across all years, for the 20 models with at least 2,000 tests — the 11 smaller Lexus models are listed below, unranked.
Other Lexus 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.
