Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2018 Levc Tx Vista Comfort Plus?

The 2018 LEVC TX Vista Comfort Plus is more reliable than the typical UK car, with an 88.9% first-time pass rate against the national average of 80%, but a significant concern is that one in three of these vehicles has experienced a dangerous defect at some point—well above what you'd normally expect. The hybrid-electric powertrain is proving consistent, with the same 88.8% pass rate across the fleet.

At 87,500 miles median, these TXs show reasonable mileage for their age, and while owners do encounter issues (averaging 1.25 failures per test), the real burden is advisory items at 7.0 per vehicle—mostly minor wear items rather than serious faults. If you're considering one, get a full pre-purchase inspection that focuses specifically on the high-voltage battery system and electrical architecture, as this is where hybrid vehicles diverge most from conventional MOT patterns.

The 2018 Levc Tx Vista Comfort Plus has a decent first-time pass rate (91%), but a higher-than-average share of vehicles have had serious defects recorded — the individual vehicle's history matters a lot here.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 91% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔧 Expect consumable spend. An average of 7 advisories per vehicle tells you wear items (tyres, brakes) get flagged regularly. Budget for them — they're not surprises.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 981 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
