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

This 2010 Fiat has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 20,119 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with its poor maintenance record, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant anomaly: a 18,281-mile jump between Jul 2023 and Jul 2024, far exceeding the car's average annual usage.
