FIAT 5002018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 September 2025 at 28,193 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure noted on the same day. The lack of specific defect data for that failure suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the re-test. The mileage pattern is consistently low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. Between the May 2022 test at 14,890 miles and the September 2025 test at 28,193 miles, the car covered 13,303 miles over three years. This low-usage profile indicates light use, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on braking surfaces. Given that the MOT record shows no recurring structural faults or persistent mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on items associated with low-mileage vehicles. This includes checking for perishalling or dry-cracking in suspension bushes, sidewalls, and brake hoses, which occur due to age rather than use. The buyer should also verify the fluid levels and inspect the brake discs to ensure they have not suffered from surface pitting from periods of inactivity.
