2010 Fiat Qubo MOT pass rate: 62.3% (1,837 tests)
Is the 2010 Qubo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2010-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 62.5% -5.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 62.0% -5.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 62.5% -4.4 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 2010 Qubo?
