AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2016 Fiat has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 19,571 miles. While mileage is low, the vehicle's history suggests ongoing maintenance needs.

The vehicle shows consistent low annual mileage, averaging 6,360 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, though a 2020 service gap is noted.

Things to check

  • Recurring suspension issues (ball joint, shock absorber) across multiple tests, indicating ongoing wear.
  • Brake disc advisories in Dec 2018 and Jan 2024, suggesting a long-standing issue.
  • Major failure for windscreen wipers in Jan 2022, followed by a minor advisory in Jan 2023.
  • Dangerous tyre defects (ply/cords exposed, tears) in Jan 2022, indicating past neglect.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 2 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until 2027-01-20, providing immediate peace of mind.
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,360 mi/yr) suggests light use and potential longevity.
  • No major structural corrosion or chassis failures recorded in its MOT history.
