FIAT SEICENTO2002 · 1.1L PETROL

The vehicle presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a complete lack of testing for over a decade. The last recorded MOT occurred in December 2015 at 50,222 miles, meaning the car has operated without an official inspection for nearly eleven years. Based on the historical data, the maintenance trend was reactive rather than proactive, with the owner only addressing critical failures like thin brake pads and wipers after they failed inspection. The current state of the vehicle is entirely unknown, given the extreme time elapsed since the final test. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. However, the data shows a notable gap in usage between January 2015 and December 2015, where the car covered only 4,917 miles in eleven months. Such long periods of low-mileage often lead to degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear. This aligns with the 2012 failure for a cracking offside rear tyre, which indicated the tyres were perishing due to age rather than tread depth. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with the rear brakes. The 2015 test flagged a slightly corroded offside rear brake pipe and previous failures for little or no effort in the rear brakes. Given the decade-long hiatus in MOT testing, the brake calipers are likely seized or seized, and the brake lines may suffer from internal corrosion. Inspect the chassis and suspension mounts for deep-seated rust, as low-mileage storage often masks advanced structural decay in older Fiat Seicento models.
