2013 FIAT 5000.9L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 December 2025 at 39,315 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a nearside front position lamp. This minor electrical fault was rectified immediately, indicating the owner is willing to address MOT failures promptly. Prior to this, the mechanical and structural components have remained free of defects across the last three inspections. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 39,315 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only about 1,000 miles driven between each annual test from 2022 to 2025. While this pattern suggests less wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods of low use often lead to age-related degradation of rubber-based parts rather than mechanical fatigue. A buyer should pay close attention to the tyre condition noted in the December 2024 test at 38,308 miles, where all four tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking. Despite the low mileage, the age of the vehicle means the rubber compound becomes brittle regardless of tread depth. A physical inspection of the sidewalls is necessary to ensure the tyres have not reached their structural limit. Additionally, because the car has been used infrequently, the inspector should check the suspension bushes and brake lines for cracking or dry rot, and inspect the brake discs for signs of surface corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
