2013 Fiat Qubo MOT pass rate: 67.8% (1,775 tests)
Is the 2013 Qubo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2013-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 69.7% -5.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 68.2% -5.0 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 65.6% -6.6 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.

FAQs
Is a 2013 Fiat Qubo reliable?

What mileage is too high for a 2013 Qubo?
The median tested example shows 62,019 miles. Anything far beyond that isn't automatically bad — a motorway-mile car with consistent service records often beats a low-mileage school-run car — but price accordingly and scrutinise the mileage trail for gaps or drops.
