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

This 2004 Fiat has 20 MOT tests on record with a 95% pass rate and 35,625 miles. The vehicle's SORN status and lack of a valid MOT further complicate its legality and roadworthiness.

The MOT history shows a critical 10-year gap in records, with a 2010 reading of 53,585 miles being significantly lower than the 2009 figure of 225,093 miles, indicating a strong possibility of odometer tampering.

Things to check

  • AUTO-FLAGGED: Odometer fraud signal: Mileage decreased between Jan 2009 (225,093 mi) and Jan 2010 (53,585 mi) — possible odometer tamperi
  • MOT HISTORY GAP: No MOT tests recorded between 2010-01-20 and 2024-02-01, a 10-year period.
  • MILEAGE FRAUD: 2010-01-20 MOT shows 53,585 miles, a 10-year decrease from 2009-01-07's 225,093 miles.
  • MOT EXPIRY: 2026-05-01 MOT expiry is 10 years old (first registered 2004), indicating a severe legal and safety concern.

Working in its favour

  • No MOT failures recorded in the provided history (only 1 minor failure ever).
  • The single minor failure (wiper) was immediately rectified and passed on the same day.
  • No recurring major system failures (e.g., brakes, suspension) are evident in the provided MOT data.
  • The vehicle has a consistent, albeit low, annual mileage pattern since 2022, suggesting recent care.
