2013 FIAT 500 C1.2L Petrol

The 2013 Fiat 500 C presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 10 March 2026 at 42,391 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of passes across every available MOT entry. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in the history, so the maintenance trend shows no worsening and no recurring problem patterns requiring concern. Mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 38,228 miles at the 4 March 2022 test, rising to 39,268 by 28 February 2023, 39,840 by 14 March 2024, 40,801 by 21 February 2025, and 42,391 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 1,000 miles per year across the last four years and an overall average near 3,261 miles annually. The data is sparse in the sense that only five years of tests are listed, yet every entry is clean with no gaps or sudden accumulation. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. Low annual mileage paired with the 2022 to 2026 figures suggests the car spent long periods stationary, a condition that accelerates perished rubber components such as suspension bushes and brake hose degradation even when tests show no defect. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories is reassuring, but standing time can hide binding calipers or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static MOT bay. Focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity, front coil springs, and brake disc condition for signs of light-use rust or seizure. Confirm the soft-top mechanism on this C variant operates without strain, as convertible hoods suffer from infrequent use. The MOT history implies a careful, low-exposure owner, though physical verification remains essential before purchase.
