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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 26,636 miles. While mileage is low, the pattern of recurring issues and immediate retests suggests a reactive maintenance approach.
The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,446 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2023 onwards, but no suspicious drops or round numbers.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect recorded on 2013-11-26 for exposed cords on nearside front tyre.
- Recurring major failures in brakes (6 times) and suspension (2 times) across multiple tests.
- Multiple advisories for tyres (4 times) and handbrake (2 times) indicate chronic wear.
- Immediate retests after failures (e.g., 2013-11-26, 2024-03-01) suggest minimal repairs.
Working in its favour
- Consistent, low annual mileage (5,446 mi/yr) suggests light use and less engine/drivetrain wear.
- No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage manipulation in the provided MOT history.
- The vehicle has a valid MOT until 2026-03-21, despite the DVLA status, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No recurring failures in the same system category since the last MOT pass in March 2025.
