2011 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · CK11 KXB

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-18 confirms it passed without defects, though the preceding test on 2025-11-12—just six days earlier—was a failure with no recorded issues. This abrupt reversal suggests either a minor oversight in test procedures or an unusually short interval between inspections, which is atypical for a vehicle of this age. No recurring faults or advisories appear in the available record, indicating no clear pattern of mechanical neglect or progressive wear. However, the lack of defects in either test does not preclude hidden issues, particularly in components not routinely checked by MOT standards, such as suspension bushes or drivetrain alignment. The recorded mileage of 113,513 miles over approximately 15 years equates to an average of around 7,568 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, though the six-day interval between the November 2025 failure and pass is unusual and may warrant clarification. The absence of multiple tests or extended periods of inactivity suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently rather than stored or underused. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are common wear points on this model. The brakes—though not explicitly flagged—should be scrutinised for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been driven at higher speeds. Structural integrity is another concern; despite no advisories, 15 years of exposure to UK road conditions may have contributed to corrosion in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, areas not always thoroughly assessed during MOTs. A thorough check of the exhaust system for leaks or rust-through is also advisable, as emissions-related failures are not uncommon in older vehicles.
