FIAT BRAVO2010 · 2.0L Diesel

The vehicle last passed its MOT on 13 February 2023 at 150,917 miles with no defects recorded, yet that certificate expired in February 2024 and the car now stands without valid roadworthiness certification. Across the available five-year record from February 2021 to February 2023 the test outcomes show a stable pattern: every pass logged zero defects and the two failed attempts on 7 February 2023 and 11 February 2022 carried no recorded defects either, indicating no worsening mechanical trend within the data. Mileage advanced from 106,520 on 17 February 2021 to 127,730 on 11 February 2022 and then to 150,917 on 13 February 2023, a consistent annual accumulation of roughly 21,000 to 23,000 miles that exceeds the lifetime average of 9,432 miles per year and signals heavier recent use. The supplied history begins only in 2021, leaving the first eleven years unaccounted, but the annual tests are contiguous with no gaps. Such a clean defect sheet across this period suggests basic upkeep was maintained, though the unexplained failures without listed defects hint at either administrative rejections or omitted entries by previous owners. A buyer should not treat the absence of advisories as proof of faultless condition. At sixteen years old and 150,917 miles, the Fiat Bravo will likely exhibit age-related wear in suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and exhaust emissions components not necessarily captured in a cursory test. The tester logged no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but physical inspection for rust on sills and subframes, binding rear calipers and tired tyres remains essential. Obtain the full MOT certificates for the 2022 and 2023 failures to confirm whether any minor consumable items such as wiper blades or lamps were the cause. Previous owners presented the car for retest within days and secured passes with no defects, which implies they addressed any issue promptly if one existed. Given the stale test date relative to today's date of 21 July 2026, a fresh mechanical inspection and MOT is mandatory before road use.
