What Iveco cars fail on
The items most often behind a first-test failure across Iveco model groups, as a share of Iveco tests. DVSA publishes each model group's six most common categories, so this ranks the biggest published causes rather than every possible one.
- Brake Performance — 13.8% of Iveco tests. The brakes underperformed on the rolling road. Expect brake work rather than an adjustment.
- Headlamp Aim — 4.5% of Iveco tests. Headlights pointing too high or low. Cheap to adjust, and common on every make.
- Position Lamps — 4.4% of Iveco tests. A side or tail light out. Usually a bulb.
- Wipers — 4.4% of Iveco tests. Worn wiper blades. Minutes to fix, and a fair hint that servicing was skipped.
- Registration Plate Lamp(s) — 4.4% of Iveco tests. The light over the number plate is out. A bulb.
- Direction Indicators — 3.7% of Iveco tests. An indicator fault, usually a bulb or relay.

Common questions
What is the Iveco MOT pass rate?
65.5% of 2,613 class-4 initial MOT tests on Iveco cars passed first time in 2024 — below the 71.2% UK average across all published models.
Which Iveco has the best MOT pass rate?
Of the Iveco model groups with a substantial sample, the Daily has the highest initial pass rate at 65.5% across 2,613 tests. Pass rates track vehicle age closely, so newer model groups tend to sit higher.
Does a good Iveco pass rate mean the car I am looking at is fine?
No. A model-level rate describes a population, not one vehicle. Enter the registration for that car's own MOT, tax and mileage record, and check for outstanding finance, write-off and stolen markers before you buy.
