FIAT 5002016 · 1.2L Petrol

The 2016 Fiat 500 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all five MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 recording no defects. The most recent test on 2025-10-29 at 13,389 miles confirmed compliance, aligning with prior results. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the decade, suggesting consistent maintenance or minimal wear. The absence of advisories or failures indicates the vehicle has been well-preserved, though low mileage raises questions about long-term component integrity. Mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 1,300–1,500 miles, reflecting light usage over 10 years. The 2021-11-01 test at 10,735 miles to the 2025-10-29 test at 13,389 miles covers a 2,654-mile span, with no significant gaps or spikes. This pattern suggests infrequent use, which may have preserved mechanical components but could also indicate periods of inactivity. The clean MOT history lacks evidence of accelerated wear, though low mileage often correlates with untested systems like suspension bushes or corrosion-prone areas. A buyer should inspect suspension components, particularly coil springs and bushings, for signs of age-related fatigue despite the clean MOT record. Brake discs and calipers, though unmentioned in tests, may require closer scrutiny due to potential corrosion from inactivity. Structural integrity should be verified, as low mileage sometimes masks underbody rust. The vehicle’s maintenance history implies cautious ownership, but physical checks are essential to confirm the absence of hidden issues beyond MOT requirements.
