Fiat Hymer: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Fiat Hymer passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 2.5 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 1,512 individual Fiat Hymer tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate79.2%
UK national average76.7%
Difference+2.5 points
Tests analysed1,512
Average mileage at test55,757 miles
Average year of manufacture2008
Reliability rank1,475 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 79.2% first-time pass rate means roughly 21 in every 100 Fiat Hymers presented for MOT fail on the first attempt. That is better than average, so a well-kept example is a reasonably safe used buy. The average Fiat Hymer tested had covered 55,757 miles and was built around 2008.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Fiat Hymer bought as a repairable salvage, the mechanical side is less likely to spring surprises, so your repair estimate should hold up reasonably well.

Before you bid: run the lot through the analyzer, check the car's own record, check the mileage, decode the VIN, and if it carries a marker use the write-off value calculator. Or compare it against another model.

Looking at a specific Fiat Hymer rather than the model in general? The free check covers its MOT and mileage history, and the full HPI report confirms the insurance write-off category, outstanding finance and whether it is recorded stolen, from licensed data for 5 credits. Already own one that has been damaged? Work out whether fixing it beats selling it with the repair or scrap calculator, and see what damaged Fiat Hymers actually sold for at UK salvage auction.
