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

This 2012 Fiat has 16 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 12,929 miles. The vehicle's mileage trajectory is highly anomalous, showing significant usage spikes early in its life, followed by extremely low annual usage, which is a major red flag for potential fraud.

The vehicle shows a critical mileage anomaly: unusually high usage (23,314 mi/yr equivalent) before Apr 2016, followed by extremely low annual usage (e.g., 1,359 mi in 2019-2020, 2,070 mi in 2022), which is highly suspicious and points to potential odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Emissions failure on 2017-06-10, a critical safety system.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyre failure on 2017-06-10, indicating severe neglect of safety-critical wear items.
  • Recurring coil spring failures (2017, 2023, 2025) and suspension arm bush failures (2017, 2023, 2025) show systemic neglect.
  • Major brake failures (2017, 2023) and advisories (2020, 2023) indicate a pattern of poor maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until November 2026, indicating current roadworthiness despite past issues.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT (Nov 2025).
  • Consistent annual mileage since 2017, albeit very low, suggests regular use despite poor maintenance.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) or write-off markers in the provided data.
