2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CP12 VSE

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official MOT history. The most recent test on 29 September 2025 at 39,277 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of consecutive passes dating back to at least September 2021, suggesting a consistent approach to regulatory compliance and a lack of recurring mechanical failures or structural corrosion issues. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 36,204 miles in September 2021 to 39,277 miles in September 2025. This averages approximately 750 miles per year over the last four years, which is significantly lower than the UK average. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, such extended periods of light use can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber seals or battery degradation. Because the MOT history is entirely free of advisories, there is no evidence of historical issues with brake discs, suspension arms, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should still perform a physical inspection of the vehicle to verify that the low mileage is reflected in the actual condition of the consumables. Specifically, check the tyre sidewalls for cracking due to age and inspect the underside for any signs of surface corrosion that the MOT tester may not have flagged during a standard inspection. The lack of reported faults regarding brake binding or suspension wear is a positive indicator of the vehicle's current state. However, given the very low annual mileage, I recommend checking the service history to ensure that oil changes and fluid flushes have been performed according to the manufacturer's schedule rather than just by mileage intervals. This ensures the engine and braking systems have been maintained despite the infrequent road use.
