What Fiat Sedici failures look like

19,358 Fiat Sedici tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 16,897 tests (87.3%), with brakes on 10,904 tests (56.3%) and with nuisance (emissions and noise) on 3,425 tests (17.7%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Suspension arm pin or bush worn but not resulting in excessive movement

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.3.4, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 6,020 of the 19,358 tests: 2,206 failures and 3,814 advisories or minors.

  • Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge

    MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension

    Recorded on 5,408 of the 19,358 tests: 987 failures and 4,421 advisories or minors.

  • Brake pipe corroded, covered in grease or other material

    MOT inspection manual reference 1.1.11, in brakes

    Recorded on 4,627 of the 19,358 tests: 748 failures and 3,879 advisories or minors.

Where there is enough data to compare: Fiat 500 (3,189,524 tests), Fiat Panda (1,024,390 tests), Fiat Punto (1,007,044 tests), Fiat Ducato (954,898 tests), every Fiat model (8,895,335 tests).

Clauses are read from the manual reference at the end of every defect on the cached test records, and a defect shown here has to appear on at least two of them before it is named. The site-wide breakdown explains how that works and compares every make.
