How Rover models compare on the MOT

The spread across Rover models is wide — 79.3% for the Mini at the top and 71.0% for the 75 at the bottom, a 8.3-point gap across 5,211 and 28,888 recorded tests respectively. Most Rover models sit much closer to the middle (around 71.7%, on 7,671 tests for the 45). 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 2000–2007 data years: 55,881 tests across 6 Rover 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.

Other Rover models

Fewer than 2,000 tests each, so they are not ranked — every model still has its own pass-rate page.
