2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BV02 BEC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable and clean maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 22 April 2025 at 25,734 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory safety requirements without immediate mechanical or structural concerns. This streak of clean passes over the last four years suggests a proactive approach to basic vehicle upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,859 miles per year. Between April 2022 and April 2023, the car covered only 1,272 miles, while it added 6,431 miles in the two years leading up to the April 2025 test. This low usage typically reduces significant wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. However, long periods of standing can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as rubber degradation or brake seizing, which are not always captured during standard MOT inspections. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on components affected by low-mileage use. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or flat spots caused by sitting, and inspect the tyres for age-related sidewall cracking despite sufficient tread depth. Given the low mileage, verify the condition of the fluids and the timing belt, as these components degrade over time regardless of the distance driven. The structural integrity of the chassis appears sound based on the lack of corrosion-related advisories in the record.
