EVs become more reliable than petrol cars, MOT data shows

  • EVs were less likely than petrol cars to fail their MOT after 90,000 miles.
  • The gap widened further once vehicles passed 120,000 miles.
  • Tyres and brakes remain areas where some older EVs performed worse.

Electric vehicles (EVs) may become a more reliable choice than petrol cars as they accumulate miles, challenging the long-standing assumption that a car with a high mileage is automatically more likely to develop problems.

An analysis of 47.4 million MOT tests found that EVs with between 90,000 and 120,000 miles on the clock had a failure rate of 16.5 per cent, compared with 22.1 per cent for petrol cars of the same age.
