2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AD10 SDH

This Fiat 500 demonstrates a consistently stable roadworthiness profile, with all recent MOT tests—including the most recent on 2026-02-23 at 39,833 miles—passing without defects. The absence of advisories or recurring failures across five tests suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent mechanical or structural issues. However, the single failure in March 2023 at 26,417 miles—though unusual given the immediate retest passing—implies a potential oversight rather than a systemic flaw, as no defects were recorded in either instance. The recorded mileage of 39,833 miles over nine years reflects unusually low annual usage, averaging just 4,426 miles per year. This pattern is notable for its consistency, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged gaps between tests. The most recent MOT occurred just five months ago, ensuring the vehicle remains within the current testing cycle. Such low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, though it does not preclude neglect in other areas such as underbody corrosion or interior wear. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common points of failure in this model. The brakes—while not flagged—should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and exhaust system, warrants attention, as low mileage does not guarantee rust-free conditions. Finally, the interior’s condition, including seat wear and electrical components, should be assessed, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate deterioration in upholstery and wiring.
