2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AV12 LFD

The 2025-11-12 MOT result confirms the 2012 Fiat 500 is currently roadworthy, with no defects recorded. The series of tests from 2023 through 2025 shows a stable maintenance pattern, as each successive inspection has produced a pass with zero recorded faults. The mileage trajectory reflects typical usage for a 14‑year‑old vehicle, averaging about 6,360 miles per year, but the jump from 69,308 miles in October 2023 to 84,098 miles in October 2024 represents an acceleration to roughly 14,800 miles in a single year, followed by a modest increase of 4,963 miles to the latest reading of 89,061 miles in November 2025. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that commonly generate advisory notes on this model, namely the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, the rear brake calipers for binding, the condition of the brake discs for corrosion or scoring, and the exhaust system for rust or leaks. Although the MOT history records no specific failures, the recurring need for tyre tread checks and wiper blade replacements suggests basic upkeep may have been intermittent, so a physical inspection of tyre wear, suspension integrity, brake performance, and any signs of structural rust around the wheel arches and sills is essential before purchase.
