This 2009 Fiat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 43,084 miles. The vehicle's low annual mileage (5,920 miles/year) is a significant red flag for a 17-year-old car, suggesting prolonged inactivity that can lead to severe structural and mechanical issues.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage of 5,920 miles/year, averaging only 43,084 miles over 17 years, which is a major red flag for a 2009 car.

Things to check

  • MOT HISTORY: 4 failures and 13 related advisories on brakes, suspension, and tyres across 12 tests.
  • MILEAGE: Only 43,084 miles in 17 years (5,920 miles/year) — a critical red flag for a 2009 vehicle.
  • MILEAGE: Consistent low annual usage (1,441–2,799 miles/year) suggests prolonged inactivity, not normal use.
  • MILEAGE: Oct 2020 retest shows only 14 miles in 2 years, indicating periods of complete inactivity.
