Which Bedford fails its MOT most, and which least?

The Bedford Astra has the highest failure rate at 37.9%, and the Bedford Ca the lowest at 19.1%. A higher rate reflects how old and how hard a model tends to be used as much as how it was built, so the oldest models in the range usually sit near the top.
