The MoT Files 2017: 10 worst vans for passing the first MoT
There are few things more disappointing than seeing your pride and joy score a big fat fail at its first MoT. Yet, for thousands of van owners, the first test at three years will present a series of costly problems.
We’ve crunched the Government numbers to uncover vans with the lowest MoT pass rates at the first test. This data is based on Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) figures and covers all three-year-old vans (registered in 2013) that had a minimum of 3000 MoT tests in 2016.

Vauxhall Movano - 66.9% pass rate
The Vauxhall Movano is popular with builders and delivery drivers alike, thanks to its impressive 2.3-litre turbodiesel engine and wide choice of bodystyles. However, when it comes to the MoT, the big Vauxhall paints a rather mixed picture.
Its pass rate isn't particularly good and failure rates for drive shafts, axles and leaf springs are twice as high as other 2013 registered vans. Brake issues are also common, with calipers four times more likely to fail than the average for 2013 vans.
