2016 FIAT 5001.2L Petrol

The 2016 FIAT 500 passed its most recent MOT on 10 July 2026 at 70,404 miles. The test recorded advisories on the front brake discs, a minor rear exhaust leak and slightly worn rear upper shock absorber bushes. Compared with the failure of the rear coil spring in July 2023, the subsequent entries show a reduction in serious faults, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Mileage progression aligns with the vehicle’s age. Between July 2025 (63,921 miles) and July 2026 (70,404 miles) the car covered roughly 6,500 miles in eleven months, averaging about 590 miles per month, which matches the typical 7,000‑plus miles per year for a ten‑year‑old model. The interval between tests is just over a year, providing a clear view of wear accumulation without excessive gaps. A buyer should focus inspection on the areas highlighted in the record. Examine the front brake discs for uneven wear, check the rear coil spring for cracking or breakage, and assess the rear upper shock absorber bushes for excessive movement. The rear exhaust should be inspected for leaks, and the front and rear tyres should be measured for tread depth and visual damage, especially on the near‑side front and off‑side rear. Finally, verify that under‑tray and sill covers do not conceal structural corrosion or damage.
