Lancia Thema Ie (1986)
1986 Lancia Thema Ie
CarHunch is tracking 136 1986 Lancia Thema Ie vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1986 Lancia Thema IE has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is drastically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 136 vehicles tested failed its MOT. The median CarHunch score of 50 reflects a car that is fundamentally unreliable by modern standards, though the absence of recorded dangerous defects (0%) suggests the failures are wear-related rather than immediately safety-critical.
The lack of mileage data and zero recorded failures or advisories in the dataset indicates these cars are rarely tested anymore, likely because most have been scrapped or are in long-term storage. If you're considering one, treat it as a restoration project rather than a usable daily driver—budget for comprehensive mechanical work before even attempting an MOT.
We have 136 1986 Lancia Thema Ie vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1986 Lancia Thema 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.
