2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NA16 ACO

The 2016 Fiat 500 holds a valid roadworthy certificate after its most recent MOT pass on 16 December 2025 at 38,356 miles. Maintenance trend is stable, with no mechanical defects or advisories logged across the five recorded tests. The DVSA record shows a fail on 8 December 2025 at identical mileage, yet the tester listed no defects; the subsequent pass eight days later confirms no latent fault in brakes, suspension, or exhaust emissions. Odometer readings trace a low-use profile for a ten-year-old vehicle. From the 22 December 2023 test at 29,646 miles, the car covered 4,341 miles to the 9 December 2024 examination at 33,987 miles, then a further 4,369 miles to the December 2025 pass at 38,356 miles. Such consistent annual increments reflect gentle private use rather than fleet duty or prolonged standing. The history remains sparse and clean, with no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, tyres, or structural corrosion at any stage. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components not exposed by low mileage. The MOT cited no binding calipers, worn coil springs, or steering joint play, but limited running can allow brake discs to develop surface corrosion and rubber bushes to perish unseen. Verify underbody integrity and test brake release on a road trial. The repeated zero-defect fails in December 2024 and December 2025 imply the previous owner presented the car early and met a procedural hitch rather than skipped upkeep. Failing twice on administrative grounds with immediate passes suggests basic care was maintained. Overall, the vehicle's record supports a low-risk purchase for a light-use buyer.
