AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2008 Fiat has 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 12,020 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The mileage trajectory shows suspiciously low usage before Nov 2021 (201 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Aug 2023 (314 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in May 2023.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre failures on 4 occasions (Oct 2019, May 2023, Jul 2024, Jul 2025).
- DANGEROUS brake failures on 2 occasions (May 2023, Jul 2024).
- Recurring suspension issues (coil spring, shock absorber) across multiple tests.
- Major emissions failures in Jul 2024 and Jul 2025.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until August 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- No Cat N/S write-off markers on DVLA data.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2023, despite initial low usage.
