2012 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · AO12 AEE

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent inspection on 2 December 2025 at 103,056 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both December 2024 and December 2025, the car failed the test only to pass a few days later after remedial work. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing MOT defects once they are flagged, rather than performing preventative maintenance ahead of the annual test. At 103,056 miles over 14 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,360 miles per year. This aligns closely with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The mileage data shows consistent annual movement, with roughly 8,400 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 4,800 miles between late 2024 and late 2025. This regularity suggests the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and prevents fluid degradation. While the recent records show no outstanding advisories, the buyer must remain vigilant regarding the common failure points of the Fiat 500 platform. A physical inspection should focus on structural integrity, specifically around the rear sills and rear wheel arches, where corrosion often begins to manifest. Given the mileage and age, checking the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear is essential to ensure there is no hidden play. The recurring failures in previous years likely involved minor consumable items like bulbs, wipers, or minor fluid leaks, but the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding or excessive pitting is present.
