Got a specific Lancia Delta Hf Turbo Ie 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.
The 1989 Lancia Delta HF Turbo IE has a first-time MOT pass rate of 65.7%, significantly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these cars face reliability challenges in their fourth decade. The dangerous defect rate is negligible at 0.4%, so safety-critical failures are rare, but the median mileage of 111,214 miles indicates these are well-used machines that have earned their scars.
With only 0.03 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle on average, most that make it to the test bay are mechanically sound—the issue is that a third don't make it first time. If you're considering one, expect to budget for pre-purchase inspection by a specialist familiar with Lancia's cooling and electrical quirks, and factor in that finding a car in truly good condition will require patience and selectivity.
We have 449 1989 Lancia Delta Hf Turbo Ie 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
