Fiat Grande Punto MOT: quick answers

What is the Fiat Grande Punto first-time MOT pass rate?

54.3% of first attempts passed in 2024 (6,496 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 6,496 primary tests: 45.66% failed first time and 62.5% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 110 is shown separately.
