KILMARNOCK has been revealed to have one of the highest MOT failure rates in Britain.
A total of 32.8 per cent of vehicles in the KA postcode area failed their MOTs at the first attempt in 2025, placing it 11th out of 118 areas for MOT failures.
The national average failure rate is 27.7 per cent.
This data comes from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which recorded 33.2 million MOTs on cars and light vans across Britain.
The figures are adjusted to account for vehicle age.
When looking only at cars, Kilmarnock climbs to 10th place, with Scottish areas making up all 10 of the top 10 for highest failure rates.
Anomalies in the figures are more striking when vehicle age is considered, as cars in these areas tend to be younger than the Great Britain average.
