2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MF17 AAO

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 32,873 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the car failed a test on 11 August 2025, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,653 miles per year. The distance covered between 20 June 2022 at 19,014 miles and 15 November 2023 at 20,401 miles shows a period of very light use, with only 1,387 miles added over seventeen months. A more significant increase occurred between November 2023 and November 2024, where the odometer rose by 7,005 miles. The MOT history is unusually clean, with no advisories or defects flagged across five tests. This absence of recorded wear on brake discs, tyres, or suspension components is atypical for a vehicle of this age. The low overall mileage increases the risk that the car has suffered from periods of standing, which can lead to seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A physical inspection should focus on the condition of the tyres and brake fluid to ensure they have not degraded due to age rather than wear. Check for signs of corrosion on the underbody and suspension mounts, as low-mileage city cars often face salt exposure without the heat cycles of long-distance driving to dry out the chassis. Confirm the battery health and oil condition to ensure the engine has been maintained despite the infrequent use.
