MOTs in Reading vs the country

Cars tested in the RG postcode area pass 82.7% of MOT tests, and 82.6% once the local mix of ages and mileage is adjusted to the national one — 31 of 118 areas. Nationally it is 81.0%.

The common failures here add up to £570–£1,546 of parts per 100 tests, against £615–£1,675 nationally — 35 of 118 areas, cheapest first.

Tread depth below 1.6 mm — 19.6% of local tests (17.4% nationally)
Tyre has a tear — 11.4% of local tests (9.2% nationally)
Tyre cut too deep — 4.6% 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.
