2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NA62 AAF

The vehicle appears to be in a stable roadworthiness condition following its most recent pass on 1 April 2026 at 40,390 miles. The MOT history shows a clean record with no recorded defects or advisories across the documented tests. While the vehicle failed a test on 30 March 2026 at 40,381 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests this may have been a clerical error or a minor non-compliance that was rectified immediately, as the car passed again just two days later. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 2,885 miles per year. This low usage is evident in the data, with the mileage remaining relatively static between September 2023 at 39,207 miles and October 2025 at 39,254 miles. This long period of minimal movement suggests the car has spent significant time stationary. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components, seized brake calipers, or degraded fluids due to lack of regular operation. A physical inspection should focus on these age-related consumables rather than mechanical wear. You should check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drive belts, as these often deteriorate through time and inactivity rather than mileage. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion or structural integrity issues that may not have been captured in these recent tests. The braking system requires close scrutiny. Given the low annual mileage, you should check for unevenly worn brake discs or binding calipers caused by the vehicle sitting for extended periods. Additionally, verify the condition of all tyres for sidewall cracking or flat-spotting, which are common symptoms of a vehicle that has seen infrequent use.
