This 2015 A180 CDI diesel has a first-time MOT pass rate of 72.9%, sitting 7 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these cars need closer pre-test attention than most. The good news is that dangerous defects are absent from this cohort and advisory notices are virtually non-existent, so what failures do occur tend to be manageable rather than safety-critical.
At 80,000 miles median, these cars are running at a typical mileage for their age, and the low failure rate of 0.33 per vehicle indicates the diesel engine and running gear remain fundamentally sound. Before buying or taking one to MOT, budget for addressing minor issues—likely brakes, suspension, or emissions items—since nearly three in ten will need something sorting first time around.
