AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 April 2025 at 83,419 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of failing one day prior to passing in both 2024 and 2025. These failures followed by immediate passes without recorded defects in the subsequent tests suggest that minor adjustments or minor consumable items were addressed instantly to secure compliance, rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. At 18 years of age, the recorded mileage of 83,419 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 4,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent intervals, with roughly 7,800 miles covered between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 7,700 miles between March 2024 and April 2025. This steady, low-intensity usage typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and potential fluid breakdown. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the structural integrity, specifically the sills and rear wheel arches, where these Fiat models frequently suffer from corrosion regardless of mileage. Because the car has been used infrequently, check the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or perished rubber that occurs during long periods of standing. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or rust, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface corrosion or binding calipers if they sit for extended durations.
