2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AX13 ALU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-06 at 71,410 miles showing no defects. However, the MOT history reveals a pattern of repeated failures without recorded issues, including two consecutive fails in 2025 and 2024 at identical mileages. This inconsistency suggests potential administrative errors or unrecorded faults, though the latest pass confirms compliance. No structural or mechanical risks were flagged in the most recent test, but the lack of defect details in prior failures limits confidence in the maintenance trajectory. The mileage progression shows an average of 5,493 miles annually, aligning with the vehicle’s 13-year lifespan. Notably, the 2023-08-08 test at 55,590 miles was passed, followed by a jump to 64,052 miles by 2024-08-05, indicating roughly 8,462 miles over 12 months. This suggests intermittent usage, which could affect components like the battery, brakes, and suspension. The 2025-08-06 test at 71,410 miles marked a 7,358-mile increase, consistent with annual averages. While the data lacks gaps, the low mileage relative to age may imply periods of inactivity, potentially impacting fluid systems and electrical components. A buyer should inspect the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low-mileage vehicles may develop stiffness or corrosion. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to seized parts. Structural integrity is not flagged in the MOT records, but rust or corrosion in hidden areas—such as underbody panels or chassis—warrants scrutiny. The absence of defect reports in prior fails does not eliminate the need for a hands-on assessment, particularly for systems prone to degradation during inactivity.
