2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AO12 AED

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 28 October 2025 at 100,245 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the history shows two instances of same-day or next-day test failures followed by immediate passes, these appear to be administrative corrections or minor rectifications rather than indicative of systemic mechanical failure. The absence of any recorded advisories across the last three years of testing suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a functional standard, with no recurring structural or mechanical defects logged by testers. Accumulating 100,245 miles over 14 years results in an average annual usage of approximately 7,160 miles, which aligns with typical expectations for a city car of this age. The mileage progression remains consistent, showing steady usage rather than long periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The record shows a logical increase in distance between the November 2023 test at 94,369 miles and the most recent inspection, confirming the vehicle remains in regular operation. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the common failure points for this model, specifically the front suspension coil springs and top mounts, which are prone to fatigue on higher-mileage Fiat 500s. Although the MOT record is clean, check the condition of the rear brake discs and pads for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, as these are often overlooked during routine servicing. Inspect the underside for any signs of surface rust on the sills and floor pans, as the lack of recorded advisories does not preclude the development of age-related structural oxidation. Verify that the steering remains free of play and that the exhaust system shows no signs of blowing at the flexi-joint, as these are frequent issues that may not always be captured in the brief window of an annual test.
