How Abarth models compare on the MOT

The spread across Abarth models is wide — 92.0% for the 124 Spider Multiair at the top and 77.8% for the 500 at the bottom, a 14.2-point gap across 5,393 and 19,130 recorded tests respectively. Most Abarth models sit much closer to the middle (around 85.2%, on 58,770 tests for the 595). The best and worst are both real DVSA results, not opinions: the pass rate is the share of every completed MOT test for that model that ended in a pass.

Every figure above is drawn from the DVSA's class-4 MOT records for the 2008–2022 data years: 96,676 tests across 16 Abarth models. A pass rate counts every completed test — first attempt and retests — so the figures above include a van or motorhome being tested twice in one year. The first-time pass figures on each model page are lower as a result. See the methodology page for exactly how each rate is calculated and how the DVSA source data is filtered.

Fewer than 2,000 tests each, so they are not ranked — every model still has its own pass-rate page.

Reading the numbers

A pass rate covers every completed test recorded for that model and year, including retests. First-attempt figures are lower. See how we calculate.
