Fiat Motor Home: MOT pass rate and reliability data

The Fiat Motor Home passes its MOT first time more often than the average UK car, by 0.1 percentage points. These figures come from the DVSA's full year of anonymised MOT results, covering 693 individual Fiat Motor Home tests. Nothing here is an estimate or a survey.

The numbers

First-time pass rate76.8%
UK national average76.7%

Average mileage at test58,455 miles
Average year of manufacture2004
Reliability rank1,560 of 2,005 models

What this means if you are buying one

A 76.8% first-time pass rate means roughly 23 in every 100 Fiat Motor Homes 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 Motor Home tested had covered 58,455 miles and was built around 2004.

What this means at salvage auction

Pass rate is a proxy for what a car costs to keep on the road. On a Fiat Motor Home 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 Motor Home 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 Motor Homes actually sold for at UK salvage auction.

Most common MOT failures on a Fiat Motor Home

  3. Audible warning inoperative, 1.6% of tests (7.74x the national rate for this defect)
  4. Brakes imbalance across an axle such that the braking effort from any wheel is less than 70% of the maximum effort recorded from the other wheel on the same axle., 1.8% of tests (4.56x the national rate for this defect)
  5. The strength or continuity of the load bearing structure within 30cm of any sub-frame, spring or suspension component mounting (a 'prescribed area') is significantly reduced or inadequately repaired, 3.2% of tests (3.84x the national rate for this defect)
  6. Significant brake effort recorded with no brake applied indicating a binding brake, 2.8% of tests (3.61x the national rate for this defect)
  7. A lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, 4.7% of tests (2.86x the national rate for this defect)
  8. Brake pipe damaged or excessively corroded, 2.3% of tests (2.82x the national rate for this defect)
  9. Exhaust system leaking or insecure, 2.1% of tests (2.73x the national rate for this defect)
  10. Parking brake efficiency below minimum requirement, 2.5% of tests (2.56x the national rate for this defect)

From 1,159 DVSA-tracked Fiat Motor Home tests, 2024. DVSA testers marked 2.79% of these flagged Fiat Motor Home defects as "dangerous", meaning the tester judged the car unsafe to drive away, against 4.97% nationally.
