The picture

Roller Team: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 3,014 MOT tests, the Roller Team returns 86.1% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is a lamp out. A number-plate lamp out and wipers that don't clear the screen round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 23,022, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.

Year-band analysis

Best year to buy. Worst to avoid.

First-time MOT pass rate split by registration band. A 5.5-point gap between bands means the year you buy Fiat Roller Team has a real effect on what turns up at the garage.

Best band to buy

90.2%

2021+ registration

the 2021-on band climbs to 90.2% — a 5.5-point improvement. Tests in this band average 16,496 miles — roughly 14K miles fewer on the clock than the older band. Failures here are mostly wear items: not working, blade defective — the structural issues that drag down older examples don't appear in the top-10 for this band. Post-2020 examples are early in their MOT life and generally show the cleanest records.

Band to be cautious about

84.7%

Pre-2018 registration

On the older band (pre-2018), the data shows a 84.7% pass rate against a fleet average of 90.2% on the newer band. The main culprits logged at test: inoperative in the case of multiple lamps…, warning lamp indicates a fault, and not working. Average mileage on test for this band is 30,171 miles — high-mileage wear items are a recurring theme.

Best band to buy: 2021+ (90.2% first-time pass). Worst band to avoid: pre-2018 (84.7% pass). That's a 5.5-point spread across 2,801 older tests and 676 newer ones — year of build makes a material difference on this model.

Buying or keeping a Roller Team?

Use the failure ranking as a pre-test checklist or a haggling lever. Treat the headline pass rate as a fleet-wide trend, not a guarantee on any individual car.

If you own a Roller Team and your last MOT looked nothing like the ranked failures above, that's normal — individual cars vary widely. The ranking shows the patterns testers flag most often across the country.
