Best and Worst Years
Of the years with at least 100 tests, the 2017 model has the highest pass rate at 95% from 227 tests. The 1992 model has the lowest at 65%. With a 30 point gap, the year you choose makes a real difference. Newer cars usually pass more often simply because they are younger.
Reliability Trend
Newer Fiat Hymers pass their MOT more often than older ones, by 23 percentage points on average, which is mostly down to age and wear.
Mileage Across Years
The oldest model in our data (1990) averages 135,402 miles, while the newest (2021) averages 11,578 miles. Older models have covered serious mileage, so suspension and drivetrain wear are worth checking.
Compared to the Fiat brand average of 83%, the Hymer is 4 points lower, placing it among the less reliable Fiat models.

Based on 7,400 miles/year, average pump prices of 174.57p petrol and 199.33p diesel (GOV.UK weekly road fuel prices, week of 19 October 2026), and MOT pass rate data. Insurance not included.
