About This Data

The 2012 Morgan Unclassified has an MOT pass rate of 91.5% based on 449 tests — well above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 7,111 miles on the odometer. With a 8.5% failure rate, the 2012 Unclassified is rated as "Excellent" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2012 Morgan Unclassified, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to seat belts and supplementary restraint systems: Pull each seat belt fully out and check for fraying, cuts, or fading. Ensure each belt retracts smoothly and the buckle clicks securely. Check the pre-tensioner warning light on the dashboard. With relatively low average mileage of 7,111 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Seat belts and supplementary restraint systems — 0.9% of failures

Seat belts and supplementary restraint systems issues account for 0.9% of MOT failures on 2012 Morgan Unclassified models. Seat belt failures include frayed or cut webbing, faulty retractors, buckles that don't latch properly, and missing or damaged anchorages. All fitted seat belts must be functional. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per belt. Pre-MOT check: Pull each seat belt fully out and check for fraying, cuts, or fading. Ensure each belt retracts smoothly and the buckle clicks securely. Check the pre-tensioner warning light on the dashboard.

Tyres — 0.4% of failures

Tyres issues account for 0.4% of MOT failures on 2012 Morgan Unclassified models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment — 0.2% of failures

Lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment issues account for 0.2% of MOT failures on 2012 Morgan Unclassified models. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
