    Mrs's current SEAT Mii has passed 4 so far. We had a 1992 Citroen ZX that passed 11 MOT's.

    My 110k, previously written off, 2012 Golf has passed the last 3 MOTs first time with me...  

    The handbrake didn't really hold for the last one though (still doesn't) so I'm not sure they're the most thorough station! :laugh:

    I don't generally own cars long enough to do more than one MOT, but the MK2.5 Focus passed 4 MOTs first-time for me.  Though I did have to make a mad dash to Halfords for a brake light bulb just before one of them!  :biggrin:

    My 11 year old Focus ST has yet to fail an MOT. Got a few advisories for stuff like tyres, brake pads and undertrays fitted (obscuring inspection), but nothing serious.

    My previous Celica GT4 failed every single MOT 1st time, usually for the 'superstrut' suspension which was a constant money drain to maintain. In addition, brakes, particularly the hand brake were also troublesome. However,my 16 year old Focus LX has passed it's last 3 MOTs with no issues at all (105,000 miles)

    None of the cars I've driven in 41 years have failed mot except for MK2 Vauxhall cavalier on corroded outer sills. 

    But then they could have failed and I can't remember as I'm a forgetfull senile old *****.
