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 18 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 39,594 miles. The vehicle's past issues with brakes, tyres, and engine oil, coupled with a recent mileage anomaly, make it a high-risk purchase.

The mileage trajectory shows a significant jump of 79,645 miles between Mar 2024 and Apr 2025, which is unusually high for a 2012 vehicle.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS brake failures in Feb 2020 and Mar 2023 indicate severe neglect.
  • DANGEROUS tyre failures in Feb 2020 and Mar 2023 point to consistent poor maintenance.
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 79,645 miles between Mar 2024 and Apr 2025 is a major red flag.
  • Recurring engine oil and tyre advisories across multiple tests show a pattern of deferred maintenance.

Working in its favour

  • The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT until April 2027, indicating it is roadworthy now.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects were recorded in the most recent MOT tests.
  • The car has consistently passed retests after failures, showing issues were addressed at the time.
