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 19 MOT tests on record with a 74% pass rate and 43,240 miles. While recent tests show resolution, the extensive history of issues suggests a high-maintenance vehicle.

The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage, averaging only 4,339 miles per year, with significant drops in usage recorded before Aug 2024 and Sep 2025, raising odometer integrity concerns.

Things to check

  • Recurring major failures: Windscreen (2012, 2013), Brakes (2013), Suspension (2019), and Lights (2024).
  • Recurring major failures: Tyres (2014), Exhaust (2013), and Headlamps (2024).
  • Extensive advisory history: Emissions (7 advisories), Ball Joint (5 advisories), Shock Absorber (3 advisories), and Headlamp (3 advisories).
  • Suspiciously low mileage: 43,240 miles over 17 years, with significant drops in usage before Aug 2024 and Sep 2025.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until September 2026, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded on the latest MOT.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate resolution of failures, showing responsive ownership.
  • No evidence of Cat N/S write-off or outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
