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 75% pass rate and 25,419 miles. The extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes this a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 3,684 miles/year, with a significant anomaly of only 114 miles recorded between Jan 2012 and Nov 2021.

Things to check

  • Extremely low annual mileage (3,684 mi/yr) for a 2012 vehicle, indicating minimal use.
  • Recurring DANGEROUS tyre failures (Sep 2019) and MAJOR brake disc wear (Oct 2021) signal chronic neglect.
  • Multiple MAJOR failures for brakes (Sep 2019, Oct 2021), suspension (Oct 2021), and emissions (May 2026) across its history.
  • The 2017-01-30 MOT shows only 30,353 miles in 5 years, a significant anomaly for a 2012 car.

Working in its favour

  • Vehicle has a valid MOT until 2027-05-12, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed) is present in the provided data.
  • The 2017-01-30 MOT shows a clean pass with no advisories, demonstrating a momentary period of good condition.
  • The 2016-02-16 MOT shows a clean pass with no advisories, demonstrating a momentary period of good condition.
