Suzuki MOT pass rates
Suzuki MOT pass rates, ranked across 29 models and 1,492,059 DVSA MOT tests between 2000 and 2024, from the Ignis SZ3 (96.6%) to the Liana (69.5%). 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.
How Suzuki models compare on the MOT
The spread across Suzuki models is wide — 96.6% for the Ignis SZ3 at the top and 69.5% for the Liana at the bottom, a 27.1-point gap across 3,709 and 4,834 recorded tests respectively. Most Suzuki models sit much closer to the middle (around 82.6%, on 23,277 tests for the Baleno). 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 2000–2024 data years: 1,492,059 tests across 29 Suzuki 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.

Ranked by aggregate pass rate across all years, for the 18 models with at least 2,000 tests — the 11 smaller Suzuki models are listed below, unranked.

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

Reading the numbers
A pass rate covers every completed test recorded for that model and year, including retests. First-attempt figures are lower. See how we calculate.
