This 2009 Fiat has 27 MOT tests on record with a 70% pass rate and 38,765 miles. The vehicle's age, combined with recurring safety-critical issues and a significant mileage decrease, makes it an extremely high-risk purchase.
The MOT history shows a critical mileage decrease of 146,789 miles between Feb 2023 (483,432 mi) and Jan 2024 (336,643 mi), indicating a possible odometer tampering or severe data anomaly.
Things to check
- AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Nov 2010 (62,767 mi) and Apr 2012 (61,351 mi) — possible odometer tamperin
- Mileage decreased by 146,789 miles between Feb 2023 (483,432 mi) and Jan 2024 (336,643 mi).
- Four major failures for lights (Jan 2020, Feb 2023) and recurring brake/steering issues.
- Dangerous defect for lights (Jan 2020, Feb 2023) and recurring exhaust/steering rack advisories.
Working in its favour
- MOT currently valid until 2027-02-09, indicating recent roadworthiness assessment.
- No recurring failures on the same system for the last 3 years (Feb 2023 onwards).
- Immediate retests for failures show owner's proactive approach to rectifying issues.
- No evidence of Cat N/S write-off markers in the provided MOT data.
