Taxis Age Profile Vs First Inspection Failure Rates

The most common reasons for vehicle inspection failures between 1 April 2018 and 30 June 2018 are:

  • Interior compartment and condition of bodywork failures (Graph 1)
  • Mechanical defects and obligatory lamp/lens failures (Graph 2)

Non-compliance for taxi vehicles is primarily driven by not having second MOTs, vehicle lights and bodywork issues. However, vehicle lights and bodywork issues have decreased when compared to the previous three periods.
