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 14 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 12,990 miles. The very low mileage for its age, combined with a history of unaddressed wear items, warrants significant caution.

The vehicle shows very low annual usage, averaging only 3,005 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage from 2021 onwards (e.g., +1,275 miles in 2021, +2,912 miles in 2023).

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension arm ball joint dust cover failures (Feb 2025, Feb 2026) after multiple advisories.
  • Recurring exhaust and emissions advisories across 5 tests (e.g., Feb 2026, Feb 2025, Mar 2024).
  • Very low annual mileage (3,005 miles/yr) for a 2012 vehicle, raising questions about its use.
  • Major failure for offside front brake pad (Feb 2018) after a minor advisory in the same test.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the MOT history.
  • All major failures (Feb 2018, Feb 2025, Feb 2026) were promptly rectified and passed retests.
  • Consistent, albeit low, annual mileage suggests a single owner or limited use.
