2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · A16 TAO

The 2019 FIAT 500 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 9 September 2025 after a brief failure on the same day at 2,342 miles. No defects were recorded on either test, and the pattern from 2022 through 2024 shows consistent passes with only minor mileage increases, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than a worsening condition. Mileage progression is exceptionally low for a seven‑year‑old vehicle. Between 14 September 2022 and 16 September 2024 the odometer rose from 2,095 miles to 2,338 miles, a gain of just 243 miles over two years. The final 2,342 miles were added on 9 September 2025, adding only four miles to the total. This steady, sub‑500‑mile‑per‑year accumulation suggests light, occasional use and a clean, gap‑free record. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or hardening, the brake calipers for binding and the discs for uneven wear, and examine the tyres for irregular tread wear despite low mileage. The exhaust system and under‑body panels should be checked for corrosion or rust, and the battery’s electrolyte level and terminal condition assessed. Even with minimal usage, rubber components such as wiper blades and drive‑belt tensioners can deteriorate with age, so a hands‑on check of these consumables is advisable. Overall, the MOT history reflects a well‑maintained car with only a one‑off failure that was promptly rectified. The low mileage reduces stress on the drivetrain and brakes, but age‑related degradation of suspension, braking, and corrosion‑prone areas remains a concern. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection focusing on those mechanical and structural points will confirm the vehicle’s true condition beyond the recorded passes.
