2012 Fiat Bravo 1.4L Petrol · BJ62 YMD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of deferred repairs regarding minor exterior components. The most recent test in October 2025 at 84,742 miles passed with only an advisory for a damaged offside lower windscreen. This represents a stable trend compared to the 2022 failure, where multiple issues including an insecure exhaust and pitted brake discs were present. The owner appears to have addressed the critical mechanical failures identified in three years ago. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 84,742 miles reflects an average of approximately 6,053 miles per year, which is consistent with low-intensity urban use. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 2,000 to 3,000 miles covered between each October inspection over the last three years. This low annual mileage generally limits the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber rubber components and perished tyres, which is already evident in the record. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and shock absorbers, as the 2024 test flagged the nearside front shock absorber with light misting of oil. While this did not cause a failure then, it indicates the beginning of a seal failure. The buyer must also verify the exhaust system to ensure the minor leak noted in 2022 was fully rectified and check for any signs of oil weeping around the engine block or joints. Additionally, the recurring mentions of cracking and perishing tyres between 2022 and 2024 suggest that the current tyres should be checked for age-related dry rot rather than just tread depth.
