AI verdict AVOID 39/100

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

This 2011 Fiat has 18 MOT tests on record with a 72% pass rate and 40,338 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with a 15-year-old car showing only 40,338 miles, raises significant questions about its true condition and maintenance.

The vehicle shows only 40,338 miles over 15 years, which is extremely low for its age and suggests potential odometer fraud or long periods of inactivity.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit (May 2019) — immediate safety risk.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Suspension arm likely to become detached (Nov 2020) — structural integrity concern.
  • 5+ MAJOR failures: Lights, Windscreen, Brakes, Emissions, Suspension — consistent system failures.
  • 18+ ADVISORY recurrences: Tyres, Suspension, Coil Springs, Brake Hose — chronic neglect of wear items.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-11-17 — current roadworthiness certification.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: 9,889 miles/year — no suspicious drops or spikes.
  • No recent major failures: Last major failure was Nov 2023; no recent dangerous defects.
  • Immediate retest passes: All 5 failures were immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
