LEVC Tx Vista MOT pass rate & common failures
The LEVC Tx Vista appears in 4,075 MOT tests spanning model years 2018–2024, and 97.0% of them passed. All cars of a similar age fail 9.0% of the time, so this is 6.0pp better than the group it competes with. Its most common failure areas are visibility, tyres and suspension.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (4.1%) and tyres (3.7%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are washers, tread depth and pins and bushes — washers alone was recorded 117 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the Tx Vista fails 1.8% of the time in the 0-30k band and 5.5% at 150k+, a spread of only 3.7 points.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 9.7% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a LEVC Tx Vista
- Visibility (4.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
- Tyres (3.7% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Suspension (3.0% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
