Fiat UNO — MOT Reliability Overview

The Fiat UNO has an average MOT pass rate of 84.0%, which is 1.0 percentage points below the Fiat brand average of 85.0%. This is a strong result, indicating that the UNO is well-engineered and tends to age well mechanically. Owners can expect fewer surprises at MOT time.

The most common reasons a Fiat UNO fails its MOT are a lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, a direction indicator lamp missing, inoperative or in the case of a multiple light source more than 1/2 not functioning, 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. If you are preparing your UNO for its MOT, checking these areas first could save you a retest fee. Our detailed fault analysis includes estimated repair costs for each failure type.

Before buying a used Fiat UNO, we recommend checking the full MOT history, write-off status, outstanding finance, and stolen vehicle status. These checks can be done for free using the registration number.
