2003 Fiat Stilo: petrol or diesel?
Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.
Petrol
49% pass first time (all 2003 cars: 57%)
Stands out: exhaust system 2.6×, sub-frame 3.1×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.2×

Diesel

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
