2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NA16 AEJ

The vehicle currently presents as a roadworthy asset, with a maintenance trend that has moved into a stable phase following previous failures. The most recent inspection on 17 March 2026 at 25,756 miles passed with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in prior years have been addressed, and the car currently meets all DVSA safety and emissions standards without any outstanding mileage advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,576 miles annually. Between March 2024 and April 2025, the car covered only 945 miles, and it added another 673 miles in the year leading to the latest test. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been used for very short trips or has sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of rubber degradation, brake caliper corrosion, and fluid breakdown due to lack of use. The history shows two specific failures in March 2024 and April 2025, which were rectified immediately upon re-testing. Because the specific mechanical reasons for these failures are not detailed in the provided summary, a physical inspection must verify the condition of the suspension bushes and brake lines. Given the low usage, a buyer should specifically check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which are common when a car is not driven frequently. The age of the tyres is likely a greater concern than the tread depth.
