2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · ACE 5W

The 2013 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 23 April 2025 at 60,112 miles which passed with no defects recorded. Prior tests in 2023 and 2022 also returned clean passes, showing no escalating faults or unresolved advisories across the available history. The recorded mileage of 60,112 against an approximate 13-year age equates to low yearly use of around 4,624 miles, though the log reveals an irregular pattern rather than steady accumulation. The car sat at 39,440 miles for the July 2021 tests then jumped to 57,241 by July 2022, a gain of nearly 18,000 miles in a single year, before creeping only 2,871 miles over the subsequent three years to the 2025 reading. The sparse record shows just five entries and a duplicate 2021 listing where the 30 July test failed then passed on the same day at identical mileage with no defects noted, implying an administrative or process anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the low standing mileage and the 2022 high-use spike that may have stressed drivetrain and consumable components. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the official data is favourable, but long dormant periods between the 2021 and 2022 activity and the later low use can conceal perished rubber mounts or binding calipers not captured by pass-only tests. Verify the 2021 duplicate failure against DVLA paperwork to rule out clerical error, and confirm the vehicle has not been laid up undrained since the 2025 pass. The clean MOT trail suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no insight into interim servicing of tyres, wiper blades, or fluid intervals.
