Tgb Unclassified MOT Reliability Overview
The Tgb Unclassified is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 447 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 7 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 67.3% and a failure rate of 32.7%, which is slightly above the UK average of approximately 37%.
Based on this data, the Tgb Unclassified earns a "Good" reliability rating. The average Tgb Unclassified presents for MOT with approximately 12,117 miles on the clock. Manufacture year matters: 2003 models achieve the highest pass rate at 81.1%, while 2006 models have the lowest at 56.0%. This 25.1 percentage point difference suggests notable variation in build quality or component durability across production years.
The most common MOT failure for the Tgb Unclassified is Motorcycle brakes, affecting 22.4% of all tests. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. The second most common issue is Motorcycle lighting and signalling at 17.7%. Motorcycle steering and suspension rounds out the top three at 17.2%. Together, these top 3 failure categories account for a significant portion of all MOT failures for this model.

Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Unclassified is likely to perform.
Motorcycle brakes — 22.4% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 22.4% of MOT failures on the Tgb Unclassified. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Motorcycle lighting and signalling — 17.7% of failures
Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues account for 17.7% of MOT failures on the Tgb Unclassified. Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
Motorcycle steering and suspension — 17.2% of failures
Motorcycle steering and suspension issues account for 17.2% of MOT failures on the Tgb Unclassified. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: 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.
