This 2005 Fiat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 65% pass rate and 22,757 miles. While mileage is consistent, the vehicle's age and past issues warrant significant caution.
The mileage trajectory is consistent, showing 22,757 miles over 21 years with normal annual usage, but a significant drop in usage (4,518 miles in 12 months) between Dec 2019 and Jan 2021.
Things to check
- Major bodywork failure (Dec 2020) for offside seatbelt anchorage in prescribed area.
- Recurring structural corrosion advisories (Dec 2019, Dec 2020) on the offside sill.
- Offside front lower suspension arm excessive play (Oct 2009) indicates prior neglect.
- Consistent low annual mileage (8,914 mi/yr) for a 21-year-old vehicle.
Working in its favour
- Consistent mileage trajectory with no suspicious drops or spikes.
- No recent MOT failures or advisories since the Jan 2021 retest.
- Immediate retest and pass after the Dec 2020 failure shows prompt owner action.
- No recurring failures on critical safety systems like brakes or steering.
