2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · KS12 ENA

The 2013 Fiat 500 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent June 2025 MOT at 45,082 miles. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record across four consecutive tests since 2022, with no structural, braking, or emission issues flagged. The latest test confirms the car meets current safety standards, though the absence of recorded defects does not preclude minor wear in components like tyres or wiper blades. No recurring mechanical faults are evident in the data, suggesting the previous owner prioritized basic maintenance. The mileage pattern shows a low annual average of 3,468 miles, reflecting light use for a 13-year-old vehicle. However, a significant jump from 27,408 miles in June 2023 to 35,617 miles in June 2024—nearly 8,200 miles in 12 months—suggests a sudden increase in activity. This rapid accumulation could accelerate wear on consumables such as brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust systems. The 2023 test, which failed but recorded no defects, remains unexplained, though it may indicate a minor technical issue resolved before the subsequent pass. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn coil springs or bushings, as low mileage can mask age-related degradation. The exhaust system, particularly the catalytic converter, warrants scrutiny due to the recent mileage surge. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as the vehicle’s history lacks specific brake-related notes. While the MOT record is clean, the sparse data and unexplained failure in 2023 necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the car’s mechanical integrity.
