2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AP65 DUY

The 2016 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 February 2026 at 45,081 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the history, indicating the vehicle has not required rectification work within the test regime. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a ten-year-old car. The records show 37,413 miles at the 12 January 2022 test, rising to 37,975 by 23 February 2023, then 39,923 on 14 February 2024, 42,614 on 31 January 2025, and 45,081 in February 2026. That equates to roughly 2,600 miles added in the last four years combined, or about 650 miles per year. Such low accumulation suggests extended periods of storage, though the clean test sheets give no evidence of neglect in statutory inspections. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframes given the low-use pattern, as standing vehicles develop structural rust that MOT testers may not flag until penetration occurs. The absence of any flagged binding calipers or worn coil springs in the record does not exempt the brakes and suspension from in-person checks for perished seals or seized linkages after long dormancy. Verify the recorded mileages against service stamps and V5C history. The clean MOT trail implies a cautious prior owner, but sparse annual distances mean fluid intervals and tyre sidewall condition deserve scrutiny that a pass certificate cannot confirm.
