2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WV12 AAE

This vehicle is in an exceptional state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on February 18, 2026, at 29,183 miles, resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained or used very sparingly. The mileage is remarkably low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 2,084 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2024 test at 26,546 miles and the February 2026 test at 29,183 miles shows a steady, low-volume usage pattern. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or significant periods of neglect. While the MOT record is flawless, the low mileage suggests the car may have spent long periods standing. A buyer should physically inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as inactivity often affects braking efficiency. The tyres should be checked for age-related cracking or flat spots, even if the tread depth remains legal. Rubber components such as suspension bushes and engine mounts can perish over time regardless of mileage. A physical inspection should focus on these perishables and the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed during periods of low use. Given the lack of any recorded advisories since February 2022, the mechanical risk appears minimal.
