FIAT 5002012 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 01 September 2025 at 102,240 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, which followed a failure just ten days prior at the same mileage. This specific pattern suggests a minor, rectifyable issue or a consumable item failure that was immediately addressed by the owner rather than a systemic mechanical failure or a deteriorating structural condition. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 102,240 miles averages out to approximately 7,300 miles per year. This aligns with typical annual usage for a city car of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 3,300 miles covered between September 2023 and August 2024, and another 6,200 miles covered between August 2024 and September 2025. This regular activity indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of standing, which generally protects the internal engine seals and brake components from seizing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that likely caused the 2024 and 2025 failures. Since the failures occurred at the same mileage as the subsequent passes, the issues were likely simple components such as bulbs, wiper blades, or a minor fluid leak. Given the age and mileage of this Fiat 500, a close look at corrosion on the rear sills and wheel arches is essential, as these are common weak points for this model. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and testing for binding brake calipers will also ensure that the consistent mileage has not masked underlying mechanical wear.
