Fiat Uno Selecta CVT (1987)
1987 Fiat Uno Selecta CVT
CarHunch analysed 608 real MOT records for the 1987 Fiat Uno Selecta CVT. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 1987 Fiat Uno Selecta CVT has a 20% first-time pass rate, which is catastrophically low compared to the UK average of 80%—one in five vehicles passes without defects, meaning four in five fail their MOT. The good news is that none of the 608 vehicles analysed has ever recorded a dangerous defect, so failures appear to be minor irritants rather than safety threats.
The median mileage of 97,319 miles for a car now 37 years old is reasonable, yet the zero average failures and advisories per vehicle suggests the data may reflect heavily survivorship bias—only the most unusually reliable examples are still on the road and getting tested. If you're seriously considering one, treat the 20% pass rate as your reality check: budget for immediate remedial work before driving, and have a pre-purchase inspection performed by someone who knows these cars inside out.
What to check before buying a 1987 Fiat Uno Selecta CVT
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
