Every Fiat Fullback model year
Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2016 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Fiat Fullback:
| Year | Pass rate | Tests | Avg mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | 84% | 300 | 87,875 |
| 2017 | 87.2% | 1,275 | 73,557 |

| 2019 | 86.2% | 268 | 62,230 |
What this means if you are buying a 2016 Fullback
The 2016 is a weaker year for this model, passing 2.1 points less often than the Fiat Fullback average. Some of that is simply age, so compare it against the 2016 figure for all cars above rather than against newer examples.

What a 10-year-old car fails on
A 2016 car is 10 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:
- Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
- Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
- Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
- Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
- Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
- Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested
That is above average, the point where suspension bushes, drop links and exhaust corrosion start showing up as advisories before they become failures. On a 2016 Fiat Fullback the average at test was 87,875 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.
The strongest year for this model is 2017 at 87.2%, and the weakest in our data is 2016 at 84%. That 3.2 point spread across the model's life is why comparing a 2016 car against a newer one tells you very little.
