How Proton models compare on the MOT

Only 8 Proton models has enough MOT history to compare, out of 6,843 recorded tests. The pass-rate table above still lists every model; the number of tests each one records is shown so you can weigh a small-sample result against a big one.

Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2001–2012 data years: 6,843 tests across 8 Proton 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.
