2019 Toyota Supra Pro — MOT failures & pass rate
The 2019 Toyota Supra Pro passed 93.3% of its 509 recorded MOT tests. That is 3.5 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 10.2%. Failures cluster in tyres, emissions & environmental and other defects.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — tyres (4.1%) and emissions & environmental (1.2%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are catalyst emissions, registration plates and tread depth — catalyst emissions alone was recorded 8 times.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 11.6% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 2.5% of tests failed in 2022 against 6.2% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a 2019 Supra Pro
On a 2019 Supra Pro, tyres is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 4.1% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Tyres (4.1% 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.
- Emissions & environmental (1.2% of tests): More common on older diesels (DPF/EGR) — can be expensive; check for warning lights and smoke. Typical repair: £100–£600.
- Other defects (1.2% of tests): Miscellaneous items not in the main categories. Typical repair: varies.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
