Lancia Dedra Ie (1991)
1991 Lancia Dedra Ie
CarHunch is tracking 399 1991 Lancia Dedra Ie vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1991 Lancia Dedra IE is a reliability disaster by any measure: just 1.5% of these cars pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and virtually all survivors in the dataset are petrol models. Dangerous defects are rare (0.5% of vehicles), but the catastrophic headline pass rate tells you everything you need to know about the structural problems plaguing this model at 30+ years old.
These Dedras average 88,000 miles—reasonable for their age—yet they're still racking up failures at almost one per vehicle over their MOT history. The near-zero advisory rate is meaningless when the cars are failing outright; the real story is that finding a roadworthy example today is genuinely exceptional. If you're considering one, budget heavily for immediate structural and mechanical work, or walk away entirely.
We have 399 1991 Lancia Dedra Ie vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Lancia Dedra Ie
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.
