1998 Fiat Bravo 1.4L Petrol · S373 ECB

The 1998 Fiat Bravo shows a stable roadworthiness trend with no deterioration across the available record. The most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 130,905 miles passed with zero defects noted, matching the four prior certificates from 2021 through 2024. This unbroken clean sequence indicates the vehicle has met statutory standards consistently. Born in 1998, the car carries 130,905 miles, equating to a lifetime average near 4,675 miles per year, which is low for its age. The DVSA log exposes an extreme tail-off in use. On 15 October 2021 the odometer read 130,777 miles; by 16 September 2022 it showed 130,824, then 130,841 on 22 September 2023, 130,884 on 11 October 2024, and 130,905 on 10 October 2025. Those increments of 47, 17, 43 and 21 miles reveal the Bravo has barely turned a wheel for four years. Such stagnation points to long-term storage rather than regular commuting. A buyer must still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. Standing for years invites perished suspension bushes, cracked tyre sidewalls, and binding calipers through lack of movement. The tester noted no corrosion, yet structural integrity of the sills and subframe demands scrutiny for hidden rust on a 28-year-old hatch. Confirm the brake discs are not pitted, the coil springs are intact, and the exhaust emissions stay compliant. The pristine MOT history suggests prior keepers kept the car legally roadworthy, but minimal mileage means consumables like wiper blades and fluids may simply have aged rather than worn.
