2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AO12 AEG

This 2012 Fiat 500 appears mechanically stable based on its MOT history, with the most recent pass on 23 June 2025 at 112,637 miles showing no defects. The vehicle has a consistent pattern of passing its tests, although the record shows a tendency to fail immediately before passing, as seen in May 2024 and June 2025. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where faults are only addressed once flagged by a tester rather than through proactive servicing. The mileage is typical for a fourteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 8,046 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last three years, rising from 99,145 miles in April 2023 to 112,637 miles by June 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest hidden deterioration from standing. Because the MOT records are unusually clean and devoid of advisories, they provide little insight into the actual wear of the vehicle. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often degrade on this model at this mileage. Check for underside corrosion and the condition of the brake discs and pads, as the lack of recorded advisories does not guarantee these components are not nearing the end of their service life. Verify the service history to ensure the cambelt and water pump have been replaced according to the manufacturer's intervals. The absence of reported defects in the DVSA data is positive, but a physical inspection of the tyre tread and fluid levels will confirm if the previous owner maintained the car beyond the minimum legal requirements.
