FIAT 5002014 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in March 2026 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement compared to previous years. While the car failed its initial tests in both 2024 and 2025, the immediate re-tests resulting in clean passes indicate that the owner was proactive in rectifying identified faults to bring the vehicle back to legal safety and operational standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging under 3,000 miles per annum. Between the March 2024 test at 31,489 miles and the March 2025 test at 33,337 miles, the car covered only 1,948 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on high-stress components like the engine and drivetrain. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus specifically on the areas that caused the failures in 2024 and 2025, as the provided record does not list the specific reasons for those declines. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection must check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, which frequently occur from lack of use. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or flat spotting, as these parts degrade due to time regardless of how few miles the car has driven. The chassis should also be inspected for structural rust, common on older Fiat models, to ensure the integrity remains sound despite the low mileage.
