Pass rate, all models
259,784 tests across 7 models, 2000–2020.
Smart Mcc MOT pass rates, ranked across 7 models and 259,784 DVSA MOT tests between 2000 and 2020, from the Forfour (82.6%) to the City Cabriolet (73.1%). The tables below compare every model with enough tests to rank, list the most-tested models, and link to each model's own pass-rate and fault pages.
The spread across Smart Mcc models is wide — 82.6% for the Forfour at the top and 73.1% for the City Cabriolet at the bottom, a 9.5-point gap across 78,825 and 2,298 recorded tests respectively. Most Smart Mcc models sit much closer to the middle (around 78.2%, on 14,871 tests for the Fortwo Cabriolet). 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 2000–2020 data years: 259,784 tests across 7 Smart Mcc 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.
