FIAT 5002016 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 January 2026 at 67,099 miles. The maintenance trend indicates a stable condition, although the history shows consistent immediate failures followed by passes on the same day. This pattern in both 2024 and 2026 suggests the previous owners were proactive in rectifying minor faults immediately after a test failure, rather than performing preventative maintenance prior to the inspection. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 44,226 miles and the March 2024 test at 55,312 miles, the car covered 11,086 miles, which is significantly higher than the annual average. However, the usage has slowed considerably since, with only 11,787 miles recorded over the two-year period between the March 2024 and January 2026 tests. While the recent records show no outstanding defects, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of the components most prone to wear on a Fiat 500 of this age. Focus on the front suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these often degrade despite low mileage. Given the low annual mileage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seizing, as vehicles that sit for long periods frequently suffer from binding calipers. Additionally, inspect the underside for early-stage rust to ensure the structural integrity remains sound despite the clean MOT history.
