FIAT 500C2016 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on January 8 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only setback was a minor failure on that same day where the offside front tyre tread depth fell below the legal limit of 1.6mm. This failure was rectified immediately to allow for the pass, suggesting that the owner is responsive to basic safety requirements despite perhaps overlooking routine consumable checks prior to the annual test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage city car, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 52,168 miles and January 2025 at 59,210 miles, the car covered 7,042 miles, followed by another 3,377 miles leading to the January 2026 test. This steady, low accumulation reduces the strain on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. The lack of any recorded advisories over the last three years indicates that the vehicle has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or structural corrosion. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on the suspension-related rubber components, as bushes and mounts can perish over a decade, even on low-mileage vehicles. While the MOT history is clean, the recent tyre failure highlights the need to check the remaining tread depth across all tyres for uneven wear. Inspect the brake discs for signs of pitting or thinning and ensure the calipers are not binding freely. Given the age of the Fiat 500C, check the wheel arches and lower bodywork for early signs of surface rust that an MOT tester might not yet flag as a structural failure.
