Lexus UX: 0.18% mechanical failure rate at first MOT, lowest of 200 UK models
Lexus UX 0.18%, Kia EV6 0.33%, Lexus NX 0.39%, Toyota C-HR 0.45%, Hyundai Ioniq 5 0.46%, Porsche Taycan 0.47%.
The Lexus UX is roughly forty-five times less likely to fail on a mechanical fault than a Kangoo, and about twelve times better than the median.
The EV presence is partly mechanical: no exhaust means no emissions test, and regenerative braking means pads last longer. That's a genuine ownership advantage rather than a gap in the measure, but it's why five of the top six are electric.
Same dataset as the worst list — 200 models, all at exactly three years old, all with 5,000+ tests. Median is 2.2%.
