A new analysis of over 46 million MOT test results reveals that electric vehicles (EVs) are significantly less likely to fail inspections compared to their petrol-powered counterparts. The data highlights a stark contrast in reliability, with EVs demonstrating fewer issues in critical areas that commonly trigger MOT failures. Experts suggest the findings reflect both the inherent design advantages of electric drivetrains and stricter manufacturing standards in the EV sector. The results could influence consumer perceptions and policy discussions around vehicle emissions and roadworthiness.
