Toyota Supra Pro MOT pass rate & common failures
2,042 MOT tests on the Toyota Supra Pro (2019–2023) give it a 94.0% pass rate. That is 3.3 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 9.2%. Its most common failure areas are tyres, other defects and emissions & environmental.
What the MOT record shows
Tyres dominates the failure mix at 4.2% of all tests — 3.3 points clear of other defects, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, registration plates and catalyst emissions — tread depth alone was recorded 28 times.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 14.0% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 2.4% of tests failed in 2022 against 5.0% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a Toyota Supra Pro
- Tyres (4.2% 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.
- Other defects (0.8% of tests): Miscellaneous items not in the main categories. Typical repair: varies.
- Emissions & environmental (0.8% of tests): More common on older diesels (DPF/EGR) — can be expensive; check for warning lights and smoke. Typical repair: £100–£600.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
