Looking at a Qubo?
Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.
Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.
Wondering whether one particular Qubo is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.
Is the Qubo disappearing?
Licensed numbers peaked at 4,724 in 2018 Q2 and stand at 3,637 in 2026 Q1, down 23%. That is down 21% in the five years since 2021 Q1. A further 348 are declared SORN — 1 in 11 of the 3,985 still on the DVLA record is off the road, laid up, part-restored or waiting to be sold.
A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.
Qubo MOT pass rate
In 2024, 63.2% of 3,579 Fiat Qubo MOTs passed first time — below the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 81.6% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 53.5% aged 15–30 years.
- Springs — 6.9% of tests. A broken or sagging coil spring. Replaced in pairs, so it is not the cheapest failure.
- Shock Absorbers — 5.8% of tests. Leaking or worn dampers. Replaced in pairs and noticeable in how the car rides.
- Condition — 5.7% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
- Exhaust Emissions — 4.7% of tests. The car exceeded its emissions limits. Can be a sensor or a service, but on a diesel it can also mean an expensive filter or catalyst.
