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 14 MOT tests on record with a 86% pass rate and 2,801 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars, raises serious reliability and safety concerns.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual usage, averaging only 4,066 miles per year, with a critical 2021 service gap and a 2020-2022 period of very low mileage (2,410 miles in 2 years).
Things to check
- DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Tyre has ply or cords exposed (Apr 2026) — immediate safety risk.
- DANGEROUS defect: Front Brake disc worn, pitted or scored (May 2019) — recurring brake wear.
- Recurring suspension arm wear: Offside Front Suspension arm pin or bush excessively worn (Dec 2020) — escalating failure.
- Recurring shock absorber wear: Nearside Rear Shock absorbers has an excessively worn bush (May 2022) — escalating failure.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until April 2027 — current roadworthiness certificate.
- No mileage fraud detected — consistent readings despite low annual usage.
- Immediate retest passes after failures — owner addressed issues promptly.
- No recurring emissions failures — one advisory only, not a pattern.
