2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BE11 ABD

The 25 March 2026 MOT at 52,297 miles records a pass, with advisory notes on thin front brake pads, a worn front brake disc and a deteriorated rear registration plate. Recurring front‑disc wear appears each year, while suspension bush wear was flagged in 2022 and 2023 but did not result in excessive movement, indicating a maintenance pattern that is largely stable rather than deteriorating. Mileage has risen from 23,679 miles in August 2019 to 52,297 miles in March 2026, averaging roughly 5,200 miles per year. The increments between tests – 4,530 miles (2021‑2022), 4,617 miles (2022‑2023), 3,210 miles (2023‑2024), 4,259 miles (2024‑2025) and 4,280 miles (2025‑2026) – show consistent, modest use with no sudden spikes. The record lacks a 2020 test, but the overall mileage is low for a ten‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting limited exposure and generally disciplined upkeep. A prospective buyer should verify the condition of the front brake system, confirming that pad thickness and disc surface are within safe limits and that any scoring does not compromise performance. Inspection of the front suspension arms, particularly the bushings, is advisable to ensure they have not progressed beyond the advisory stage. Checking the rear registration plate for legibility, confirming tyre tread depth on all four wheels, and scanning for any emerging corrosion or structural rust will complete a thorough assessment.
