Did you know the UK DVLA offers an API where you can download the entire MOT history of every vehicle in 1 .zip file? (zerobytes.monster)

Found this info on FB.

This 36GB .zip file unzips to give you over >350 .json.gz files. After gunzipping them, you are left with approximately 350GB of jsonl files.

Unsurprisingly, the most common MOT defect is "Nearside Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit (4.1. E.1)" (exact text match) - 1.33% of 1.81 billion recorded defects.

For scale... 12,973 defects are related to bananas.
