Dull Facts about MOT Tests in Bristol (UK)

This data analysis project was inspired by a post by Luke James in the Dull Men's Club group which was published on 22nd June.

The DVLA publish data on MOT Tests. I have analysed the data for MOT Tests in the "BS" postcode area for vehicles tested between 2021 and 2023. If a vehicle did not have an MOT Test taken in Bristol during 2023 then it is marked as "Inactive". New cars do not usually have an MOT for the first 3 years, so these vehicles will not appear in these reports. You can view all of the reports here.
