Pinned to one model year, this is not a table of old cars: every 2010 Renault Clio in the data is the same age. Over five annual MOTs the gap between the best and worst area is 1.1 extra failures — about £32–£84 in parts at this model's typical failure cost .
31 of 170 models by how far apart their best and worst postcode area are. Wider: Vauxhall Vivaro (21.3). Narrower: Citroen C3 (20.9).
Rates are for the 2010 model year only, in areas with at least 200 tests of it. Mileage, trim and use are pooled — a city van and a motorway van are one line here. Method. Compare it with the model's full history or this exact year.

“vs national” is against this model's own rate across all years (72.5%), not against the national rate for all cars — a number that would flatter a new model and punish an old one.
What this cannot tell you
- Which garage to use. There is no test-station field in the anonymised data, so no station is implicated by any of this — why. The station directory lists what is near you.
- That the area causes it. Cars in some areas do more short trips, see more salt, or have owners who wait for an advisory to become a failure. The test cannot separate those.
- Anything about a single car. These are rates over hundreds or thousands of tests, not a prediction for one vehicle — one car with a bad exhaust is one car with a bad exhaust.
For context, this model's best area runs 8 points above its own all-years national rate.
