2011 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SO60 AOH

The 2011 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 15 October 2025 at 84,464 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The most recent test showed no defects, though it followed a failure on 11 September 2025 at 84,442 miles where the tester recorded no specific defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the vehicle passed every annual test from 30 September 2022 through 12 October 2024 with no advisories logged. Mileage accumulation is low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, standing at 84,464 miles or roughly 5,631 miles per year. The records show gentle use: 69,470 miles at the 30 September 2022 test, rising to 75,257 by 30 September 2023, then 77,267 on 12 October 2024, and 84,442 by the September 2025 failure. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear, and the sparse clean record implies the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current without neglected intervals. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the low-use pattern that often masks perished rubber and corroded calipers from standing. The unexplained September 2025 failure warrants scrutiny of the test centre documentation to confirm no latent emissions or structural integrity concern was suppressed. With no recurring advisories for corrosion, exhaust, or tyres across the five-year span, the history suggests conscientious test compliance rather than deferred consumable neglect, but pre-purchase checks on underbody rust and binding brakes remain prudent on a Fiat of this era.
