2019 LEVC Tx Vista — MOT failures & pass rate
1,895 MOT tests on the 2019 LEVC Tx Vista are in this dataset, and 96.6% of them passed. All cars of a similar age fail 9.3% of the time, so this is 5.9pp better than the group it competes with. Failures cluster in visibility, tyres and suspension.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — visibility (5.4%) and tyres (4.8%) 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 70 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2019 Tx Vista fails 2.6% of the time in the 0-30k band and 6.0% at 150k+, a spread of only 3.4 points.
Suspension is the most common advisory, noted on 9.3% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2019 Tx Vista
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: visibility accounted for 5.4% of tests. Start there.
- Visibility (5.4% 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 (4.8% 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 (4.1% 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.
