2013 Fiat Bravo 1.4L Petrol · ST63 AAE

The vehicle passed the most recent 2025‑05‑23 MOT at 49,691 miles, indicating it is currently roadworthy, though a severely deteriorated offside front constant‑velocity joint boot was recorded as a defect, signalling potential for premature wear. The maintenance history shows a pattern of alternating passes and failures, with recurring issues in suspension, brakes and exhaust, suggesting a worsening or at least persistent trend rather than steady improvement. The 2013 model has accumulated 49,691 miles over 13 years, averaging 3,822 miles per year, which is low for its age but recent usage has risen sharply; mileage jumped from 45,338 miles in May 2024 to 49,691 miles in May 2025, an increase of over 4,300 miles in a single year, while earlier intervals such as 2022‑2023 showed smaller gains. This growing annual mileage aligns with a higher frequency of failures in the later records, indicating that the low overall average masks increasing wear. A buyer should inspect the offside front CV joint boot for cracks or loss of grease, examine suspension bushes, coil springs and arm pins for excessive movement or fracture, verify brake disc thickness and freedom of movement, test parking brake efficiency, and check the exhaust for leaks and lambda sensor performance. Particular attention must also be given to structural rust on the sub‑frame and silencer, as recurring corrosion and binding faults have been documented repeatedly.
