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

This 2013 Fiat has 17 MOT tests on record with a 59% pass rate and 23,358 miles. The high mileage for its age, combined with a pattern of neglect, makes this vehicle a high-risk purchase.

The vehicle shows high annual usage, averaging 12,242 miles per year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000, with a notable 14,675-mile increase between Aug 2019 and Sep 2019.

Things to check

  • DANGEROUS tyre defects recorded in Aug 2019 and Sep 2022, indicating severe neglect of critical safety components.
  • Recurring major failures in brakes (6 times), suspension (2 times), and exhaust system (5 times) across multiple MOTs.
  • Consistent pattern of advisories escalating to major failures, particularly in the Aug 2019 and Sep 2022 tests.
  • High mileage of 23,358 miles for a 2013 vehicle, suggesting heavy use and accelerated wear.

Working in its favour

  • Current MOT is valid until September 2026, indicating it is roadworthy for the next year.
  • No evidence of odometer fraud or mileage tampering in the provided MOT history.
  • The vehicle has consistently passed retests after failures, showing owners addressed issues promptly.
  • No recent major failures or dangerous defects recorded in the most recent MOT tests.
