FIAT 500 COLOUR THERAPY2012 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent inspection on 21 April 2025 at 76,345 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2023, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate or recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,450 miles per year. There is a visible spike in usage between April 2023 and April 2024, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in twelve months. This period coincides with the recorded failure on 7 April 2024 at 75,452 miles, although the vehicle passed a re-test just weeks later at a higher mileage. Since the 2025 test, the mileage accumulation has slowed, which generally reduces the wear rate on the drivetrain and rubber-based components. A physical inspection should focus on components most affected by low-mileage, long-term use. Because the car sits for extended periods, a buyer must check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension bushes that crack without use. The tester should also examine the chassis and sills for developing structural corrosion, as age-related rust can occur regardless of the miles driven. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of recorded advisories means the buyer should manually verify the condition of the tyres and fluid levels to ensure basic maintenance has been neglected.
