FIAT 5002018 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy condition, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 with 24,990 miles and no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner consistently rectified failures from previous years to achieve clean-pass results in subsequent retests. This pattern suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing identified safety or environmental issues to ensure the vehicle meets DVSA standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,124 miles per year. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the vehicle covered only 360 miles, and it covered just 343 miles in the year leading up to the most recent test. This level of low usage frequency typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such long periods of standing can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, or fluid degradation which are not always captured by mileage readings alone. A buyer should physically inspect the specific components that caused the failures in January 2024 and 2025, as the provided summary does not detail the nature of those faults. Given the low mileage, it is vital to check for brake-related surface corrosion on the discs and ensure the calipers are not binding due to lack of use. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as the age of the rubber often precedes the tread depth. Additionally, examine the suspension bushes for signs of cracking that can occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods.
