This 2008 Fiat has 18 MOT tests on record with a 78% pass rate and 19,247 miles. The vehicle's age and recurring issues make it a high-risk purchase.
The vehicle shows suspiciously low mileage before Nov 2018 (406 mi/yr equivalent) and again before Jul 2020 (22 mi/yr equivalent), followed by a significant spike in usage.
Things to check
- DANGEROUS tyre defect recorded on 2023-08-01, indicating severe neglect.
- Recurring major failures in lights (8 times), windscreen (3 times), and brakes (2 times) across multiple years.
- Significant mileage anomaly: only 406 miles recorded between Jan 2008 and Nov 2018, then 22 miles to Jul 2020.
- Multiple recurring advisories on tyres, suspension, wipers, and registration plate lamps.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until 2026-08-19, indicating current roadworthiness.
- No evidence of outstanding finance (HPI check needed).
- No Cat N/S write-off markers on DVLA data.
- Consistent annual mileage since 2018, despite initial anomalies.
