About This Data

The 2006 Tgb 304 has an MOT pass rate of 70.5% based on 95 tests — above the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 12,886 miles on the odometer. With a 29.5% failure rate, the 2006 304 is rated as "Very Good" for MOT reliability.

If you own or are considering buying a 2006 Tgb 304, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to motorcycle steering and suspension: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks. With relatively low average mileage of 12,886 miles, many of these vehicles are still in good mechanical condition.

Motorcycle steering and suspension — 3.2% of failures
