Fiat Multipla MOT reliability

There were not enough MOT tests of Fiat Multiplas in 2025 to publish reliable figures: we need at least 1,000 tests of cars aged three and over. Cars have their first MOT at three years old, so newer models appear once they reach that age. How we work out MOT figures.

Fiat Multipla registrations over time

Registrations of Fiat Multiplas for the first time in Great Britain were highest at 4,381 in 2001, when this data begins. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

Fiat Multipla fuel economy and CO2

  • 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 name “Multipla”. How we use VCA’s figures.

Fiat Multipla safety recalls

DVSA lists 4 safety recalls for the Fiat Multipla since 1992, the first in 2006. The most recent was launched on 7 December 2007.

Brakes may fail

Launched 7 December 2007 DVSA recall R/2007/173 Manufacturer ref. 5260

Defect
Due to the possibility of a fault in the production process the flexible rubber brake hoses may not have been correctly vulcanised. As a consequence may partially or totally restrict the internal flow of the brake hydraulic fluid. Should this happen a reduction in efficiency during braking would occur.
Remedy
Recalled vehicles will have the hoses checked to identify if they are within the affected batch. If this is the case they will be replaced with quality assured items.
Vehicles affected
4,804 across everything the recall covers
Built
6 Nov 2007 to 19 Nov 2007

All 4 Fiat Multipla recalls, with defects, remedies and build dates

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Fiat Multipla. 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.
