2011 Fiat Qubo MOT pass rate: 67.9% (1,853 tests)
Is the 2011 Qubo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2011-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 67.4% -2.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 69.6% +0.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 66.8% -1.6 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 2011 Qubo?
