2006 Fiat Scudo MOT pass rate: 56.1% (2,380 tests)
Is the 2006 Scudo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2006-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 56.2% -8.1 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 54.4% -9.7 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 58.0% -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 2006 Scudo?
