Discontinued tables

Roadworthiness testing

Tables TSGB0908 through to TSGB0912 are no longer being produced by the Department for Transport (DfT). The data are still available, in an alternative format, from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency who have assumed responsibility for publishing this information.

TSGB0908: Road vehicle testing scheme (MOT) test results (ODS, 8.33 KB)

TSGB0909: Road vehicle testing scheme (MOT), percentage of tests with one or more fail (ODS, 14.6 KB)

TSGB0910: Road passenger service vehicle testing scheme (PSV tests) (ODS, 9.52 KB)

TSGB0911: Goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes testing scheme (HGV motor vehicles and trailers) (ODS, 9.94 KB)

TSGB0912: Trailer tests by axle type (ODS, 9.26 KB)

Car ownership and driver licensing

As part of assuring quality of our outputs, table TSGB0917 has been discontinued. The data in this table largely exists in other tables from the driving tests and instructor statistics collection which include figures for practical car test pass rates with gender breakdowns.

TSGB0917: Car driving tests (ODS, 8.62 KB)

As of the 2022 release, TSGB now covers primarily cross-modal information. As a result, there are fewer tables in this chapter. Below are the tables that are no longer published with TSGB, but can still be found in the relevant routine DfT statistical collections. The Transport Statistics Finder can also be used to locate these tables, either by table name or code.
