2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · PJ17 ABK

The 2017 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 1 April 2026 at 46,199 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No recurring advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening condition and no unresolved structural or consumable concerns. Recorded mileage sits low for a nine-year-old car. The tester logged 21,770 miles on 30 March 2023, 26,278 miles on 11 April 2024, 35,175 miles on 2 April 2025, and 46,199 miles on 1 April 2026. That equates to roughly 5,133 miles per year, with steady annual accumulation of eight to eleven thousand miles and no sudden gaps or rapid jumps. The single failure on 1 April 2025 at 35,175 miles carries no listed defect, and the car passed cleanly the next day, which suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor cause rather than neglected upkeep. Given the sparse and clean record, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of standard wear items the MOT does not deeply probe. Check suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related corrosion or binding calipers, since low-mileage cars left standing can develop seizing from inactivity. Examine exhaust emissions hardware and underbody structural integrity for rust, as the Fiat 500's sills and subframes are prone to moisture damage despite a clear test sheet. The absence of advisories does not exempt the new owner from routine consumable checks. Verify tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and fluid condition before use. The history implies a careful previous keeper who kept the car lightly used and tested on time, but low annual mileage warrants scrutiny of rubber perishing and brake condition that a pass certificate will not reveal.
