you can read into that what you will, some owners have their car serviced just before mot, some don't have it serviced at all, some look after their car, some don't.

Be interesting to look at why they fail, bald tyre is different to worn bush. Bush could be down to manufacture, tyre is wear and tear and down to the owner/driver.

You find budget brands tend to do worse at these surveys as owners are less likely to spend money beforehand, I can't remember the year but apparently Lamborghini had the highest MOT pass rate, I don't think anyone in the world would claim Lambos are the most reliable car.

How are Hyundai and Kia so far apart when it’s pretty much the same product, I wouldn’t pay too much attention to that article

Just what I was thinking. I doubt the differences between their respective models are so great to create such a division in MOT pass rates.
