2013 Fiat Auto Trail MOT pass rate: 90.8% (1,756 tests)
Is the 2013 Auto Trail getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 92.2% +17.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 91.1% +18.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 89.1% +17.0 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Auto Trail?
