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 82% pass rate and 17,943 miles. While past failures were promptly rectified, the sheer volume of advisories indicates significant and ongoing wear.
The vehicle exhibits extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,342 miles per year, with a notable 2021 service gap and a 2025 test showing only 863 miles in 12 months.
Things to check
- Recurring advisories on tyres (7 tests), suspension (6 tests), and emissions (14 tests) across multiple years.
- Extremely low annual mileage (3,342 mi/yr) for a 17-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
- Major brake failure (binding offside rear service brake) in March 2025, though immediately rectified.
- Persistent subframe corrosion advisory from March 2023, despite no recent failures.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027, indicating current roadworthiness.
- All past failures (e.g., binding brake, corroded subframe) were immediately rectified and passed subsequent tests.
- Consistent, albeit low, mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
