2008 Fiat Scudo MOT pass rate: 58.9% (3,529 tests)
Is the 2008 Scudo getting worse?
Pass rate of 2008-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 59.5% -5.8 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 58.2% -6.6 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 58.8% -6.3 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 2008 Scudo?
