2008 Fiat Bravo 1.4L Petrol · KX57 VZM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a reactive rather than proactive maintenance approach. The most recent test in March 2023 at 143,155 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a blown nearside rear stop lamp. This suggests the owner addresses immediate safety defects once flagged by the tester. Given that over three years have passed since the last recorded MOT, the current state of roadworthiness is unverified and requires an immediate inspection to account for potential degradation of components. At 143,155 miles, the car has averaged approximately 8,000 miles per year over its eighteen-year life, aligning with typical usage patterns for an older hatchback. The mileage data shows consistent intervals with annual testing between 2021 and 2023, which suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods. The gap of 12,029 miles recorded between February 2022 and March 2023 reflects a normal rate of travel, which places expected levels of wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension geometry due to recurring issues. The record shows thin rear brake pads in February 2022 and uneven rear braking in February 2021, which often points to sticking calipers or worn slider pins. Furthermore, the 2021 advisory regarding low tyre wear on the inner edge of the nearside tyre suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that were never explicitly rectified. Given the age of the Fiat, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches is also essential, as these are common points of failure for this model that are not always captured until they becomes critical.
