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

This 2002 Fiat has 13 MOT tests on record with a 62% pass rate and 25,691 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' with an expiry date of 2012-11-03, which is impossible for a 24-year-old car.

The mileage trajectory shows a 41,287-mile jump in 2006, then a 134,893-mile jump in 2010, indicating a significant and unexplained increase in usage.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2012-11-03; current status is 'Not valid' — a critical legal and safety issue.
  • Five test failures recorded, including three major defects (brakes, windscreen, steering).
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 134,893 miles between Jan 2009 and Feb 2010.
  • Recurring issues with tyres, headlamps, brake hoses, and ball joints across multiple tests.

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures on the same system after initial fixes.
  • All major failures were immediately rectified and passed subsequent retests.
  • Consistent annual mileage for the first 7 years, indicating regular use.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or rollbacks in the provided MOT data.
