2004 Fiat Stilo 1.4L Petrol · AF04 AEA

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised following a failure at the most recent test on November 26, 2025. While the car maintained a clean history with no recorded defects for several years, the sudden transition to a failure indicates a decline in maintenance standards or a specific mechanical breakdown. Because no specific defects were listed on the failed test report, the vehicle remains not roadworthy until the underlying cause is identified and rectified. The mileage data reveals a 패턴 of very low usage followed by a period of activity. Between January 2020 and January 2021, the car covered only 526 miles, suggesting it sat stationary or was used minimally. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the mileage increased by 5,894 miles, moving from 59,868 to 65,762. This represents a low annual average for a vehicle of this age, though the lack of mileage for the 2025 test makes it impossible to determine the exact distance driven leading up to the failure. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to determine the reason for the November 2025 failure. Given the previous years of clean passes, the issue could stem from age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, seized brakes, or structural corrosion that finally reached a threshold. way attention should be paid to the underside for rust and the suspension bushings, as these are common failure points on the Fiat Stilo. Without specific defect codes from the last test, the risk of an unexpected repair bill remains high.
