AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.
This 2009 Fiat has 25 MOT tests on record with a 60% pass rate and 18,946 miles. The vehicle's extremely low mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of recurring issues and a recent MOT failure, makes it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage, averaging only 5,940 miles per year, with suspiciously low readings of 15 miles/year before Feb 2023 and 329 miles/year before Feb 2024.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: 3 test failures within 12 months (Nov 2021 – Oct 2022)
- Multiple major failures in critical safety and mechanical systems: suspension (4), brakes (3), emissions (3), and lights (3).
- Recurring exhaust corrosion (Mar 2019 advisory, Nov 2021 major failure) indicates a systemic issue.
- Recurring anti-roll bar link wear (3 tests, 2021–2025) points to chronic suspension neglect.
Working in its favour
- MOT valid until 2026-07-24, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided data.
- Consistent mileage trajectory despite low annual usage.
- No recent MOT failures on safety-critical systems (brakes, steering).
