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 16 MOT tests on record with a 69% pass rate and 13,472 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a 2020 service gap and recurring issues, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,284 miles per year, with a significant 2020 service gap and inconsistent mileage readings.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS brake failure on 2026-05-19 (test 13) — immediate safety concern.
- 5 major brake failures across 2021–2026 MOTs, indicating chronic neglect.
- 12 recurring tyre advisories (2016, 2025) and 7 recurring emissions advisories (2024, 2025) — systemic issues.
- 2020 MOT gap with no recorded test — potential for unaddressed maintenance.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2027-05-19, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- Consistent mileage trajectory, despite low annual usage, shows no fraud.
- No recurring failures on the same system across multiple years (e.g., no repeated engine failures).
