2008 Fiat Bravo 1.4L Petrol · NA08 AEW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-03-14 at 103,632 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a pattern of alternating passes and failures between 2020 and 2022, with no technical issues noted in any test. The lack of recorded defects despite repeated failures suggests either incomplete testing or a failure to identify underlying issues. The car’s roadworthiness status remains uncertain, as the MOT history does not confirm resolution of prior concerns. The absence of mechanical data limits definitive assessment, but the recurring failures imply potential systemic problems requiring further inspection. The vehicle’s mileage of 103,632 miles over 18 years equates to approximately 5,757 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which may affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and fluid systems. Notably, the2020-07-18 MOT at 87,061 miles was passed, followed by a failure on 2020-07-15 at the same mileage—a discrepancy likely due to a data entry error. Subsequent tests in 2021 and 2022 show minimal mileage growth, raising questions about the vehicle’s active use and maintenance consistency. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for dry or damaged bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or corrosion. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, particularly if the car was stored in damp conditions. Brake components, including calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, as binding or uneven wear could go undetected in MOTs with no recorded defects. Additionally, the battery, fluids, and electrical systems may require assessment due to potential age-related degradation.
