2007 Fiat Bravo MOT pass rate: 57.5% (3,055 tests)
Is the 2007 Bravo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2007-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 56.9% -8.2 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 57.8% -7.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 58.6% -6.9 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 2007 Bravo?
