Fiat Ace MOT reliability

Fiat Aces passed their MOT first time 88% of the time across 8 tests in 2025. 13 are still licensed in Great Britain.

Pass rate by year of first registration

Older cars fail more often, so compare a car with others of the same age. Years with very few MOTs can show extreme pass rates, even 0% or 100%, so give more weight to years with more tests.
