“Figures from cars built” is the group of build years behind each row's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.

“Figures from” is the group of build years behind each card's MOT figures. Years where one generation gave way to the next can sit in a wider group until there's enough history to split them.

By build-year group

How each group of build years performs

Each card shows MOT results for one group of Ford Ranger build years. “Age” means the car's age on the day of its MOT, not its build year. “25+” groups every test on cars aged 25 or older.

2021 onwards

A mix of Mk2 (T6) and Mk3 (T6.2)

These build years include both Mk2 (T6) and Mk3 (T6.2) cars, so the figures are less exact than for a single generation.
