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

This 2009 Fiat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 21,711 miles. The vehicle's low mileage and recent MOT pass do not outweigh the significant underlying safety and maintenance issues.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 3,651 miles per year, with a suspiciously low 1,028 miles recorded between May 2019 and May 2020.
