AI verdict AVOID 40/100

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 24,017 miles. The vehicle's low mileage for its age, combined with a 3-year MOT gap and a 2017 Euro NCAP safety rating of 3/5 stars, makes it a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows a significant drop in annual mileage from 9,000+ miles in 2019-2024 to only 1,952 miles in the last 2 years, which is highly unusual and warrants immediate investigation.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS defect: Tyres worn close to legal limit (Oct 2020) — recurring issue.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Nearside Front Suspension arm insecure (Mar 2023) — structural concern.
  • DANGEROUS defect: Offside Front Brake hose damaged (Oct 2020) — safety-critical.
  • 3-year MOT gap: No MOT recorded between 2022 and 2023 — unexplained off-road period.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until April 2027 — current roadworthiness certificate.
  • Consistent mileage trajectory: Average
