How many Fiat Qubos are left in Great Britain?
There were 3,596 Fiat Qubos licensed in Great Britain at the end of March 2026, and a further 346 declared off the road (SORN).
That is 22.7% fewer than the peak of 4,655 in 2019.
Fiat Qubos licensed in Great Britain
Numbers peaked in 2019 and have fallen every year since, as older cars are scrapped faster than new ones are registered.
In 2025, 63.1% of Fiat Qubo MOT tests were passed first time,
against 72.8% for all cars.
Cars of the same ages as the Fiat Qubos tested pass 66.3% of the time, so the Fiat Qubo does worse than average for its age, by 3.2 points. In 2024 its pass rate was 63.8%.

4 years of the Fiat Qubo, 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 2011 cars did best at their 2025 MOT (63.0% passed first time) and the 2013 cars worst (60.2%).
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:

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.

Fiat Qubo fuel economy and CO2
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Fiat Qubo from 2009 to 2019. On the WLTP test (listings 2019), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 33.2 to 49.5 mpg, with CO2 of 146 to 196 g/km. On the older NEDC test (listings 2009 to 2018), official combined fuel economy for its petrol and diesel versions ranges from 40.4 to 72.4 mpg, with CO2 of 103 to 165 g/km.

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.
NEDC figures (in VCA’s data until September 2018) and WLTP figures (from the 2019 guide)
come from different tests, so they are shown separately and should not be compared.
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 “Qubo”, “Qubo, 2012 onwards”. How we use VCA’s figures.
Fiat Qubo safety recalls
DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Fiat Qubo since 1992, the first in 2012. The most recent was launched on 31 March 2015.
Unintended airbag deployment
Launched 31 March 2015DVSA recall R/2015/035Manufacturer ref. 5858
Defect
Following deactivation of the passenger airbag via the dashboard menu with the ignition on the passenger airbag may be reactivated following a fast cycling (less than 2 seconds) of the ignition key (on-off-on). The passenger airbag deactivation warning light would also have been switched off but the driver may not notice. In a collision and in certain conditions an unintended airbag deployment may contribute to a loss of further control or injury to driver and/or passengers.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the airbag control unit.
7 Dec 2012 Braking efficiency may be reduced (3,095 (all models) vehicles)
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Fiat Qubo. 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.
