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 19 MOT tests on record with a 68% pass rate and 30,882 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 6,755 miles/year, with a significant drop in usage from 2020 onwards, but no evidence of odometer fraud.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failure (Mar 2019) and subsequent advisories indicate chronic neglect.
  • Recurring major failures in lights (2016, 2017), suspension (2023), and brakes (2019) point to systemic issues.
  • Multiple tyre advisories (2015, 2016, 2017, 2019) and shock absorber advisories (2023) show consistent wear.
  • The 2017 headlamp failure and 2016 stop lamp failure suggest electrical gremlins.

Working in its favour

  • Mileage is consistently low, averaging 6,755 miles/year, suggesting light use.
  • The vehicle has a valid MOT until May 2027, indicating it is currently roadworthy.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies in the provided MOT history.
  • The car has a long history of MOT tests, providing a comprehensive record of its maintenance.
