This 2012 Fiat has 13 MOT tests on record with a 100% pass rate and 13,426 miles. The car's low annual mileage for its age, combined with a recent MOT pass, warrants a thorough physical inspection.
The vehicle shows only 13,426 miles in 14 years, with a suspiciously low 234 miles recorded between July 2024 and August 2025, indicating potential long periods of inactivity or deliberate underreporting.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Only 13,426 miles recorded in 14 years (Jul 2018–Aug 2025), far below UK average.
- Recent low usage: Recorded only 234 miles between Jul 2024 and Aug 2025, suggesting long inactivity.
- Head gasket and timing belt: Community-reported high-risk issues for this 1.2L petrol engine.
Working in its favour
- Most recent MOT passed — clean at last test
- Perfect MOT pass record: 8 consecutive passes with no failures or dangerous defects.
- Long MOT validity: Valid MOT until August 2026, offering immediate peace of mind.
- No recurring failures: No pattern of the same system failing repeatedly.
