FIAT 5002018 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2018 Fiat 500 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-07-29 assessment at 40,317 miles. All prior tests from 2021 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage of 40,317—roughly 5,040 miles annually—suggests minimal wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, though prolonged inactivity could affect suspension components and fluid systems. No advisories or failures in the record imply the car has been well-cared for, but the absence of defects does not preclude latent issues from extended storage. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase, with tests spaced 12–13 months apart. From 25,032 miles in 2021 to 40,317 in 2025, the car has accumulated 15,285 miles over four years, aligning with its low usage profile. No rapid spikes or extended gaps in mileage are evident, which reduces the risk of accelerated wear on high-mileage components. However, the lack of recent tests beyond 2025 raises questions about the vehicle’s current condition, as the last MOT was over a year ago. Buyers should verify if the car has been retested since July 2025 and confirm that maintenance intervals have been adhered to. A physical inspection should focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low mileage can lead to dry rot or corrosion in these parts. The exhaust system and underbody should be checked for rust, particularly if the car was stored in damp conditions. Brake discs and pads may require closer scrutiny, as infrequent use can cause uneven wear or binding. While the MOT history shows no red flags, the vehicle’s age and mileage pattern necessitate a thorough check of structural integrity and fluid systems to ensure no hidden issues have developed during periods of inactivity.
