2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AF63 VEY

The 2013 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 October 2025 at 48,498 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 27 October 2022 at 39,305 miles that was immediately retested and passed the next day with no defects logged, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault requiring repair. Mileage accumulation is low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,731 miles per year. The records show steady, light use: 39,305 miles in October 2022, 41,618 by November 2023, 44,543 by October 2024, and 48,498 by October 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear. The clean pass history with no advisories across four years suggests the previous owner kept basic upkeep current, though low mileage combined with the 2022 same-day fail-retest implies the car may have stood unused for periods. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low-use profile. Standing time accelerates corrosion on structural members and exhaust components even when test records show no rust advisories. The absence of flagged faults in the MOT data does not exempt the car from age-related deterioration invisible to the annual test. Verify the 27 October 2022 failure reason via the full DVSA certificate, as the summary lists no defects. Check tyre sidewall condition and wiper blade wear, minor consumables the MOT would not capture between tests. Overall the documentary history supports a sound purchase subject to a routine independent mechanical check.
