2022 LEVC Tx — MOT failures & pass rate
8,384 MOT tests on the 2022 LEVC Tx are in this dataset, and 96.3% of them passed. That is 2.9 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 6.7%. Failures cluster in tyres, visibility and suspension.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (2.6%) and visibility (2.5%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are pins and bushes, wipers and tread depth — pins and bushes alone was recorded 233 times.
Mileage matters less than usual here: the 2022 Tx fails 1.4% of the time in the 0-30k band and 0.0% at 150k+, a spread of only 1.4 points.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 14.4% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

| 5 | Other defects | 2.4% | 201 |
| 6 | Emissions & environmental | 0.4% | 30 |
Failure rate by mileage
Higher-mileage cars tend to fail more — often the most useful guide to real condition.
| Mileage band | Tests | Fail rate |
|---|---|---|
| 0-30k | 1,586 | 1.4% |
| 30-60k | 3,558 | 3.9% |
| 60-90k | 2,348 | 5.0% |

| 120-150k | 124 | 4.0% |
| 150k+ | 33 | 0.0% |
Failure rate by age

What to check before buying a 2022 Tx
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 2.6% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (2.6% 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.
- Visibility (2.5% 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.
- Suspension (2.1% 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.
