2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · WO05 ADA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 September 2023 at 93,269 miles with no recorded defects. This result followed an initial failure on the same day, which suggests a minor administrative or easily rectable issue that was resolved immediately before the re-test. Since the last test took place nearly three years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual inspection, making a fresh assessment mandatory to verify that no mechanical degradation occurred during the period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, moving from 78,854 miles in September 2021 to 84,896 miles in August 2022, reaching 93,269 miles by late 2023. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components such as bushings and seals, or potential corrosion on brake discs if the car sat stationary. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the structural integrity of the chassis, particularly the sills and rear wheel arches, where Fiat models of this era are prone to rust. Given the low mileage and the age of the car, check for seized brake calipers or perished brake lines resulting from lack of use. The suspension system should be examined for cracks in the control arm bushings, as age-related material fatigue often occurs regardless of the total miles driven.
