2017 FIAT 5001.2L Petrol

The 2017 Fiat 500 presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent DVSA test. The tester passed the vehicle on 2026-03-09 at 49,576 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 2023 through 2026 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. A failed entry also appears on 2026-03-09 at the same mileage with no defects logged, which points to an administrative or documentation rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 33,985 miles in February 2023, rising to 38,658 by March 2024, 45,198 by March 2025, and 49,576 by March 2026. That equates to roughly 5,500 miles per year. The low, steady climb suggests light use and possibly extended standing periods, which can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop even where the odometer implies minimal wear. Given the absence of flagged faults, the buyer should still verify in person the items a clean MOT does not capture. Standing time at low mileage risks degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on structural members beneath the sills. A short road test will confirm whether the brake discs show rust binding or the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic annual test standard with no recorded neglect. The identical-mileage pass and fail on 2026-03-09 warrants a check that the current V5C and test certificate match. Beyond that, this Fiat shows no worsening mechanical trend and remains a sound used purchase subject to a visual underside inspection.
