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 16 MOT tests on record with a 81% pass rate and 31,652 miles. While mileage is consistent, the pattern of wear suggests a vehicle that has been neglected, despite its recent MOT pass.

The mileage trajectory is consistent, averaging 7,931 miles/year, with a significant drop from 11,465 miles/year to 1,349 miles/year between April 2023 and August 2024, which is unusual for a 17-year-old vehicle.

Things to check

  • Recurring advisories on tyres (6), brakes (4), suspension (4), lights (3), and steering (3) across multiple tests.
  • Failed MOT on 2014-02-19 for headlamp aim, yet passed same day with unresolved issues noted.
  • Aug 2024 MOT pass includes advisories for headlamp, ball joint, and coil spring, indicating ongoing wear.
  • Consistent pattern of wear on safety-critical components suggests a history of reactive, minimal maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent annual mileage averaging 7,931 miles/year, indicating regular use.
  • No major structural failures or dangerous defects recorded in the MOT history.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until August 2025, despite the recurring advisories.
