Where in Britain does the Fiat Scudo fail its MOT most?

Fiat Scudo fails first-time MOTs most in Dundee (DD): 70.1% against 49.9% across Britain for this model, both 2019–2024 (2024, n = 164).

First-time failure rates for the Fiat Scudo range from 37.3% in the Southend-on-Sea (SS) postcode area to 61.8% in the Truro (TR) postcode area, before allowing for age: a wider spread by area than for the typical model.

If a Fiat Scudo fails, does it fail again?

45.7% of Fiat Scudos that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 41.3% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 7,194). The failure most likely to come back is visibility: 40.6% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Fiat Scudo cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Fiat Scudos tested at age 8, about 41 failed the MOT first time (rough estimate); at age 10, about 40 (rough estimate). These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

What is the Fiat Scudo first-time MOT pass rate?

50.8% of first attempts passed in 2024 (8,100 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 8,100 primary tests: 49.2% failed first time and 58.9% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 123.7 is shown separately.
