DVSA MOT data · 2024
Across the BH postcode area where Bournemouth is located, 357,570 MOT tests were recorded in 2024 — covering roughly 347,959 vehicle records — with a first-attempt pass rate of 66.9%.
The most common failure categories in this area: Electrical (28.6%), Suspension (16.7%), Brakes (15.1%).
Bournemouth, Dorset hosts 114 active car garages listed in our directory. Across 559 million UK MOT records analysed by DVSA between 2005-2024, electrical, suspension, and brake faults are the three highest-volume failure categories — together accounting for the majority of unscheduled garage visits. Tyre tread depth is the single highest-volume specific reason cars fail their annual test.
- Lighting and electrical — consistently #1 by volume — bulbs, indicators, and headlamp aim are frequent low-cost fixes.
- Suspension faults — coil springs, joints, and bushes — pothole-related, climbing sharply above 60,000 miles.
- Brake performance — pads, discs, and roller-tester imbalance — every UK garage offering MOTs covers brake checks.
- Tyres — tread depth below 1.6mm is the single highest-volume specific failure across the UK fleet.
