3 years of the Fiat Bravo, by year of first registration, have their own page with MOT results, common faults, mileage and how many are left. Against all cars of the same age, the 2007 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (51.0% passed first time) and the 2008 cars worst (47.7%).
Registered: cars on the DVLA record at the end of the year they were first registered (these counts start in 2014, so older years show a dash). Left:
licensed or declared SORN at the end of 2025.
Both cover the United Kingdom. Pass rate: first-time passes at normal MOT tests in Great
Britain in 2025; all cars: every car first registered the same year.

How we use engine sizes.
Fiat Bravo fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Fiat Bravo from 2000, when the data begins, to 2014. On the NEDC test (listings 2000 to 2014), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 30.1 to 65.7 mpg, with CO2 of 113 to 222 g/km.
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2014
Official NEDC figures by engine and fuel, listed 2000 to 2014
Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in
real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in
VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was
listed.
Matched from VCA’s model names “Bravo”, “Bravo Range”, “Bravo, 2012 onwards”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Fiat Bravo safety recalls
DVSA lists 5 safety recalls for the Fiat Bravo since 1992, the first in 1998. The most recent was launched on 8 September 2008.
Rear cross member welding may crack
Launched 8 September 2008DVSA recall R/2008/118Manufacturer ref. 5298
Defect
It has been identified that the possibility exists that a non conforming weld may be present on the vehicle's rear cross member with the fixing bracket for the wheel axle hub. This non conformity in time; could cause the weld to break and crack the rear cross member which could have an adverse effect on the vehicle's stability.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the subject cross member identification numbers and weld markings checked; to ascertain whether they conform. Should this not be the case the cross member will be replaced.
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Fiat Bravo. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or
incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a
dealer. How we match recalls to models.
Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
MOT figures cover normal tests of cars aged three and over in 2025; retests are excluded. Age is rounded to the nearest year.
DVSA records the model name typed in at the test. We match those names to DVLA’s generic models, so a handful of tests may be counted under a close relative.
