MOTs in Portsmouth vs the country

Cars tested in the PO postcode area pass 78.1% of MOT tests, and 79.0% once the local mix of ages and mileage is adjusted to the national one — 88 of 118 areas. Nationally it is 81.0%.

The common failures here add up to £731–£2,003 of parts per 100 tests, against £615–£1,675 nationally — 103 of 118 areas, cheapest first.

Tread depth below 1.6 mm — 22.8% of local tests (17.4% nationally)
Tyre has a tear — 16.5% of local tests (9.2% nationally)
Tyre cut too deep — 5.5% of local tests (2.5% nationally)

That is about the cars, not about the garages below. The anonymised test data has no station field, so there is no per-station pass rate on this site. The full area picture →

What an MOT costs

The maximum fee for a car is £54.85, with no VAT on top; stations may charge less. A fail gets a free retest if you leave the car for repair and return within 10 working days, or for a listed set of items before the end of the next working day — the rules in full. The common failures are priced on the repair price list, and the calculator adds up your own items.
