2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RJ66 AAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean history across recent testing. The most recent inspection on 24 March 2026 at 47,397 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a failure entry on the same day which suggests an administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. Since 2022, the car has consistently passed its inspections without any advisories or failures, indicating a consistent level of basic mechanical upkeep. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,740 miles per year. There is a visible gap in records between October 2022 (25,884 miles) and April 2024 (31,558 miles), where the car covered roughly 5,600 miles in seventeen months. However, the usage has remained steady, with nearly 16,00 miles added over the last two years. This low annual mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related rubber degradation and fluid breakdown rather than mechanical strain. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer must physically inspect components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Low-use vehicles often suffer from seized brake calipers or rusted brake discs due to lack of use. You should also check for sidewall cracking on the tyres and perished suspension bushes, as rubber elements dry out over time regardless of distance driven. Given the age of the Fiat, a close inspection of the chassis for structural corrosion around the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure rust has not compromised the integrity of the vehicle.
