2009 Fiat Bravo 1.6L Diesel · SL09 VXT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted in July 2025 at 145,170 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards. While a failure was noted in July 2023, the immediate retest pass on the same day suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults, and the vehicle has since maintained a clean-sheet history annually. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per year over its lifespan. Data shows a steady usage pattern with regular intervals, such as the 8,352 miles covered between July 2024 and July 2025, and the 3,110 miles recorded between July 2023 and July 2024. This regularity suggests the car has been used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which often helps prevent premature degradation of rubber seals and brake components. Given the clean nature of the recent MOT records, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this specific model that do not always trigger a failure. Prioritize a check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear suspension mounting points, as rust develops internally before becoming a test failure. You should also examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for fatigue, as the high mileage of 145,170 miles places significant stress on these components despite the lack of recent advisories.
