AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Fiat has 21 MOT tests on record with a 76% pass rate and 36,603 miles. The extremely low annual mileage for its age is a significant red flag for potential long-term neglect.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 5,234 miles per year, with a notable 18-month period of only 8 miles between Oct 2020 and Oct 2021.

Things to check

  • Recurring electrical faults: Headlamp and registration plate lamp issues flagged in 2012 and 2024.
  • Recurring suspension faults: Nearside Front Coil spring fractured in 2012 and 2024, indicating a structural weakness.
  • Extremely low annual mileage: 5,234 miles/yr for an 18-year-old car suggests long periods of inactivity.
  • Multiple major failures: 3 test failures across 11 MOTs, including a windscreen failure in 2011.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 5 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until September 2026, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • No mileage discrepancies or signs of odometer fraud detected.
  • All major failures were promptly rectified and retested successfully.
