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 17 MOT tests on record with a 82% pass rate and 21,830 miles. While failures were promptly rectified, the consistent wear on critical safety components warrants careful consideration.

The mileage trajectory shows normal usage until 2015, then a significant jump to 19,780 miles/year between 2023-2025, with a notable 13,767-mile jump between April 2023 and June 2024.

Things to check

  • May 2025 MOT shows a major failure for the Nearside Front Track rod end ball joint has excessive play.
  • Recurring advisories for tyres (8 items) and brakes (6 items) across multiple tests indicate ongoing wear.
  • Unusually high mileage jump of 13,767 miles between April 2023 and June 2024 suggests a change in usage.
  • The vehicle has been on SORN status since 2019, requiring immediate re-registration and MOT checks.

Working in its favour

  • Most recent MOT passed despite 3 historical failures
  • Valid MOT until June 2026, providing immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
  • All 2 test failures were immediately rectified, demonstrating responsible ownership and maintenance.
  • Consistent, normal annual mileage (6,785 miles/year) for its first 10 years of life.
