2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YG15 ADX

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-05-07 at 78,015 miles confirming no defects. Prior tests from 2024-04-24 (77,211 miles) and 2023-04-27 (75,793 miles) also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2023-03-28 at 75,576 miles—despite no defects recorded—raises questions about procedural accuracy or potential undetected faults. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in subsequent tests implies no worsening conditions, but the failure warrants scrutiny to confirm no underlying concerns were overlooked. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 11-year-old vehicle, averaging 7,092 miles annually. A notable jump from 68,544 miles (2022-04-27) to 75,793 miles (2023-04-27) reflects a 7,249-mile increase over 12 months, which may indicate heavier usage or infrequent MOTs. Subsequent tests show gradual accumulation, with 2,178 miles added between 2023-04-27 and 2024-04-24, and 804 miles between 2024-04-24 and 2025-05-07. This pattern suggests regular operation but no extreme wear spikes, though the 2023-03-28 failure at 75,576 miles remains unexplained by the record. A buyer should prioritise inspecting suspension components, particularly bushings and coil springs, given the vehicle’s age and mileage. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older models. Structural integrity, including underbody rust or panel gaps, warrants attention, as corrosion can develop unnoticed. While MOT records show no active defects, the 2023 failure and lack of detailed diagnostics mean a pre-purchase inspection should verify the absence of hidden issues, especially in high-mileage areas like the exhaust system and wheel bearings.
