About Husqvarna Fe MOT Data
The Husqvarna Fe is a niche vehicle in the UK, with 1,940 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 5 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 80.7% and a failure rate of 19.3%, which is well above the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Husqvarna Fe owners, these results suggest a reliable vehicle that generally passes its MOT without major issues. Focus your pre-MOT checks on motorcycle lamps and reflectors and motorcycle suspension for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Fe is likely to perform.
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors — 14.1% of failures
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors issues account for 14.1% of MOT failures on the Husqvarna Fe. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Motorcycle suspension — 7.3% of failures
Motorcycle suspension issues account for 7.3% of MOT failures on the Husqvarna Fe. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Identification of the vehicle — 4.9% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 4.9% of MOT failures on the Husqvarna Fe. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
