2013 FIAT 500C1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a flawless pass in the most recent inspection on 25 September 2025 at 52,177 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the last four successful tests indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance. While the record shows a brief failure on 23 September 2024 at 51,143 miles, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass the following day suggest a minor administrative or easily resolved issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. With a total of 52,177 miles over thirteen years, the car averages approximately 4,000 miles annually, which is significantly lower than the national average. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns, with no evidence of long-term storage or neglect. The gap between the 2021 and 2023 tests likely reflects the pandemic-era extension or reduced usage, yet the vehicle returned to regular annual testing without accumulating excessive mileage or developing structural issues. This low-mileage profile suggests the drivetrain has experienced minimal heavy-duty stress. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer must physically inspect the underside for corrosion, as Fiat 500 models of this age are prone to surface rust on subframes and floor pans that may not always trigger an MOT failure until it reaches a critical state. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these rubber and metal components often perish due to age rather than high mileage. Examine the brake discs for signs of pitting or scoring caused by light use and infrequent driving, as these can seize or corrode if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. Focus your physical assessment on these age-related environmental factors rather than high-wear mechanical components.
