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 11 MOT tests on record with a 73% pass rate and 22,092 miles. While mileage is low and consistent, the pattern of neglect and recent failures warrants significant caution.

The vehicle shows consistent, low annual mileage averaging 6,981 miles/year, with no suspicious drops or spikes, indicating normal usage.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: DANGEROUS defect (Sep 2024): Nearside Rear Tyre tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm (5.2.3 (e))
  • DANGEROUS tyre defect (Jan 2019) escalated to failure (Sep 2024), indicating severe neglect.
  • Recurring brake disc wear (Jan 2020) and shock absorber issues (Jan 2018) point to systemic maintenance neglect.
  • Major engine MIL failure (Jan 2019) and supplementary restraint system warning lamp fault (Jan 2019) are serious electrical/mechanical concerns.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Consistent, low annual mileage (6,981 mi/yr) suggests light use and less wear.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage discrepancies.
  • The car has a valid MOT until 2025-09-11, despite the SORN status.
