No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific Fiat Tempra Sx Td Sw you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

UK

This 1993 Fiat Tempra diesel estate sits well below the UK average first-time MOT pass rate at 58.9% versus 80%, signalling that survivors of this age are typically in compromised condition—though the good news is that dangerous defects are rare at just 1.0%. The median mileage of 51,862 is reasonable for a 31-year-old vehicle, but the high advisory rate of 0.2 per car reflects the cumulative wear you'd expect from 1990s Italian engineering over three decades.

If you're considering one, treat it as a project or a second car rather than daily transport: almost half will fail their next MOT, and parts availability and specialist knowledge for this obscure model are thin on the ground. Get a full pre-purchase inspection from a diesel specialist and budget for immediate remedial work.

MOT statistics not available

We have 304 1993 Fiat Tempra Sx Td Sw vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
