2013 Fiat 500 C 1.2L Petrol · CF63 AAJ

The 2013 FIAT 500 C demonstrates a stable roadworthiness record, with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-08-29 at 60,676 miles. Despite two failed tests on the same date, no faults were listed, suggesting either administrative anomalies or potential issues with the testing process. The prior 2024-08-28 test at 56,262 miles also passed without defects, indicating consistent compliance. However, the absence of recorded issues in multiple tests does not confirm mechanical soundness, as some faults may not trigger MOT failures. The vehicle remains roadworthy but requires further inspection to validate its condition. The mileage of 60,676 miles over 13 years equates to approximately 4,667 annual miles, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage suggests infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate wear on components like the battery, fluids, and rubber seals. Notably, the 2023-09-08 test at 50,997 miles preceded a 5,265-mile increase by 2024-08-28, followed by a 4,414-mile rise to 60,676 by 2025-08-29. Such gaps may indicate periods of inactivity, raising concerns about potential corrosion, seized mechanisms, or degraded systems. The MOT history is otherwise clean, with no recurring faults or advisories. A buyer should prioritise checking for signs of inactivity-related wear, including a swollen or weak battery, discoloured brake fluid, and hardened suspension bushes. The low mileage does not eliminate risks of structural corrosion, particularly in the underbody or chassis, which may require a detailed visual inspection. Brake discs and calipers should be assessed for uneven wear or binding, while the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or rust. The absence of MOT failures does not preclude hidden issues, so a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is strongly advised.
