2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AF63 FGD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-30 at 43,109 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but the same date and mileage appear twice in the record, suggesting a potential data inconsistency. Previous tests from 2024-09-27 (40,920 miles) to 2022-09-30 (35,785 miles) also showed passes with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical issues or advisories are documented, implying the car has been maintained to meet legal standards. However, the duplicate entry raises questions about the accuracy of the recorded history. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,109 miles at 13 years old equates to an average of 3,316 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage. A sharp drop from 40,920 miles in 2024 to 43,109 miles in 2025—despite the car being 13 years old—suggests possible mileage tampering or misrecorded data. This anomaly, combined with the lack of defects in all tests, implies either meticulous maintenance or unrecorded wear. The low annual mileage could also indicate periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, tyres, or fluid systems. A physical inspection is advised to confirm the absence of hidden issues not flagged in MOT records. Focus on suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these components often degrade with age regardless of MOT results. Check for corrosion around the chassis and exhaust system, which can develop during prolonged inactivity. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the duplicate test entry and unusual mileage progression warrant caution. Buyers should verify the vehicle’s service history and consider a pre-purchase inspection to address potential long-term storage effects.
