2015 FIAT 5001.2L Petrol

The 2015 FIAT 500 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 August 2025 at 41,181 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows an improvement after two consecutive failures in August 2023 and August 2024, both at low mileages (33,107 mi and 36,084 mi respectively) and also without recorded defects. The passage from failure to a clean pass suggests that remedial work addressed the underlying issues, though the earlier failures indicate intermittent problems that merit closer scrutiny. Mileage accumulation has been modest for an 11‑year‑old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,744 mi per year. Between August 2023 and August 2024 the odometer rose by 2,977 mi, then by 5,097 mi to the 2025 test date, reflecting a low‑usage pattern. The test schedule remains annual, with each year showing a pass/fail pair—likely a retest scenario—rather than a gap in inspection coverage. A prospective buyer should inspect the mechanical systems that are commonly associated with MOT failures in this class. Examine the brake circuit for binding calipers, uneven disc wear and pad thickness; assess suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or excessive play; check the exhaust system for corrosion or loose mounts; and conduct a thorough body scan for rust, particularly around wheel arches, sills and the underbody. Verify that service records document any work carried out after the 2023‑2024 failures, ensuring that the improvements are substantiated by maintenance actions.
