Insight summary

Fiat Qubo is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,641 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 73.5% from 29,224 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 46. The current pool shows an average of 75,150 miles and an average age of 12.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 79,301 miles. Diesel leads the fuel split, followed by petrol, and the most frequent defect themes are coil springs, windscreen damage and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Fiat Qubo looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
