As Fenlander says, this says as much about the owners/drivers as it does about the cars. If a car is submitted for MOT with a defective tyre, damaged windscreen, or a bulb out (the three most common failure reasons), its subsequent failure is hardly the car's fault.
I have long held the belief there is a correlation between a car's make, and how it gets treated. Try and buy a five year old Ford or Vauxhall with any service history beyond the warranty expiry date, and you'll look a lot harder than you would for most Japanese or German makes.
I've never had MOT issues either. Although the Alfa's due in a couple of weeks. That will be interesting :-D
