AI verdict CAUTION 67/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2008 Fiat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 75% pass rate and 18,358 miles. The car's age and potential for accumulated wear, combined with a history of suspension issues, suggest a cautious approach.

The vehicle shows consistently low annual mileage, averaging 5,199 miles per year, with a significant drop in usage between 2018 and 2022 (4,336 miles in 2020).

Things to check

  • Recurring Offside Front Shock Absorber leak (2013, 2014 advisories) — a persistent and serious safety concern.
  • Major failure for Offside Front Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (2013-07-05 advisory) — indicates a recurring structural weakness.
  • Significant 2022 MOT gap — no test recorded, suggesting potential off-road use or unverified maintenance.
  • Brake system advisories (2013, 2014) — multiple advisories for brakes suggest ongoing wear and potential for future failures.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2027-05-29 — provides significant peace of mind for immediate roadworthiness.
  • Consistent low mileage (5,199 mi/yr) — indicates light use, potentially reducing wear on certain components.
  • No recent major failures — the most recent MOT pass (May 2026) is a positive sign for current condition.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud — mileage trajectory is consistent, though usage varied.
