About This Data
The 1992 Fiat Uno has an MOT pass rate of 47.2% based on 1,205 tests — significantly below the UK average for UK vehicles. Cars of this vintage present for MOT with an average of 61,559 miles on the odometer. With a 52.8% failure rate, the 1992 Uno is rated as "Very Poor" for MOT reliability.
If you own or are considering buying a 1992 Fiat Uno, be prepared for above-average maintenance costs. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to brakes: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm). At 61,559 average miles, these vehicles are in the mid-range where component wear starts to become a factor.
Brakes — 1.3% of failures
Brakes issues account for 1.3% of MOT failures on 1992 Fiat Uno models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
Tyres — 0.8% of failures
Tyres issues account for 0.8% of MOT failures on 1992 Fiat Uno models. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Steering — 0.5% of failures
Steering issues account for 0.5% of MOT failures on 1992 Fiat Uno models. Steering failures include excessive play in the steering wheel, leaking power steering fluid, worn track rod ends, and damaged steering rack. These affect vehicle control and are closely related to suspension wear. Typical repair costs: £150–600. Pre-MOT check: Check for excessive steering wheel play (more than a few inches of free movement). Listen for whining from the power steering pump. Look for fluid leaks under the car near the front wheels.
