2014 Fiat Auto Trail MOT pass rate: 89.8% (1,826 tests)
Is the 2014 Auto Trail getting worse?
Pass rate of 2014-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 90.7% +13.3 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 89.5% +13.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 89.2% +14.8 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.
