Known faults for Fiat Fiat Qubo
Our database tracks 3 specific mechanical faults and recurring failure patterns identified across UK MOT testing stations for this generation.
MOT Roadworthiness: Average
This rating reflects historical MOT pass rates and recurring advisory wear patterns from official DVSA test logs. Note that roadworthiness does not verify outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen records.
Verify lender finance agreements, insurance write-offs, police stolen registers, and mileage rollback.
Common Problems: FIAT QUBO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Front Suspension Strut Top Mount Seizure(Moderate)
The front MacPherson strut top mount bearings are exposed to road splash thrown up by the front tyres due to minimal wheelarch arch lining protection. Water and road grit wash away the factory grease, causing the internal ball bearings to corrode, bind, and seize. This leads to heavy, groaning steering at low speeds, twanging noises as the coil spring binds and jumps, and eventual fatigue fracture of the front coil spring.
- Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) Urban Regeneration Failure(Serious)
On 1.3-litre MultiJet turbodiesel models, the diesel particulate filter requires sustained high exhaust gas temperatures to burn off accumulated soot. Because many Qubos are purchased as town runabouts or Motability mobility vehicles undertaking repeated short trips under 3 miles, the engine never achieves active regeneration criteria. Soot accumulation triggers warning lights, engine oil dilution from unburnt post-injection diesel fuel, and limp-home mode.
