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 23 MOT tests on record with a 83% pass rate and 14,084 miles. While it has a recent clean MOT pass, the very low mileage and past failures warrant a thorough inspection.
The vehicle shows extremely low annual mileage averaging 2,655 miles/year, with suspiciously low readings before 2009 (133 mi/yr equivalent) and a significant drop in usage from 2019 onwards.
Things to check
- Mileage anomaly: Very low annual mileage (2,655 mi/yr) for a 22-year-old vehicle.
- Recurring brake issues: Multiple advisories (7) and one major failure (Apr 2023) for brakes.
- Recurring windscreen issues: Multiple advisories (5) and one major failure (Jan 2009) for windscreen.
- Recurring emissions advisories: 3 advisories (Oct 2019, Apr 2023, Apr 2024) across multiple tests.
Working in its favour
- Valid MOT until March 2027: Offers immediate peace of mind for roadworthiness.
- No recent major failures: The most recent MOT (Mar 2026) passed cleanly without significant advisories.
- Consistent retesting: The single failure in 2009 was immediately rectified and passed on retest.
- No mileage fraud since 2023: Mileage has been consistent and verifiable since the last MOT.
