2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NU62 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent test. The March 2026 test at 33,650 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failed test just three days prior at 33,643 miles. While the specific reason for that failure was not documented in the summary, the immediate pass suggests a minor rectification was completed. The absence of advisories over the last four years indicates a consistent level of upkeep regarding structural integrity and essential components. The recorded mileage of 33,650 over a 14-year lifespan averages approximately 2,404 miles per year. This represents exceptionally low usage for a 2012 vehicle. The data shows steady, incremental progress from 29,026 miles in April 2023 to 32,360 miles in April 2025, and finally to the current 33,650 miles in March 2026. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short, infrequent trips rather than high-speed motorway commuting. Because the vehicle has spent significant time with low annual mileage, a physical inspection should focus on components that degrade through inactivity rather than wear. I recommend checking for perished rubber elements such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and tyre sidewalls, which can crack when a car sits for long periods. You should also inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding due to lack of regular use. The lack of historical advisories regarding emissions or suspension components is a positive indicator for a vehicle of this age. However, the low mileage means the engine has likely operated under cold-start conditions frequently. A buyer should verify that the service history supports regular oil changes to prevent sludge buildup, which can occur in low-mileage vehicles that are not driven hard enough to reach optimal operating temperatures regularly.
