2007 Fiat Motorhome. — MOT failures & pass rate
Across 1,009 MOT tests, the 2007 Fiat Motorhome. recorded an 83.2% pass rate. That is 10.1 percentage points better than all cars of a similar age, which fail at 26.9%. Failures cluster in lighting & signalling, brakes and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
No single area dominates — lighting & signalling (11.4%) and brakes (9.9%) are close, so failures are spread across several systems rather than one weak point.
At component level the recurring items are headlamp aim, service brake performance and wipers — headlamp aim alone was recorded 54 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 19.0% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 23.3% once past 90-120k.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: brakes was flagged on 14.1% of tests without failing them.
The trend is improving — the fail rate fell from 19.0% in 2021 to 17.1% in 2025, as the worst-kept examples leave the fleet.

What to check before buying a 2007 Motorhome.
On a 2007 Motorhome., lighting & signalling is what the MOT record says goes wrong most — it appeared in 11.4% of tests. Check these areas before you commit.
- Lighting & signalling (11.4% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Brakes (9.9% of tests): Pads/discs are routine wear; binding, imbalance or corroded pipes are more serious — test for pulling under braking. Typical repair: £100–£350 per axle.
- Visibility (5.0% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
