2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CP15 AHX

The 2015 FIAT 500 presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 23 June 2025 at 86,928 miles. This most recent test recorded zero defects, mirroring the outcome of the preceding three annual inspections. The vehicle demonstrates a resolving and ultimately stable mechanical condition, with no recurring faults or emerging advisories to suggest deferred maintenance or deteriorating components. A single failed test occurred on 22 June 2023 at 65,045 miles, yet the record indicates no defects were recorded even then, and the car passed its retest just eleven days later with a mere fifteen miles added, suggesting a minor or administrative issue was swiftly rectified. The mileage accumulation aligns perfectly with the vehicle's age, averaging roughly 7,903 miles per year, which is typical for a city car of this vintage. Between the October 2022 test at 57,675 miles and the June 2024 test at 74,568 miles, the car covered 16,893 miles in approximately twenty months, indicating consistent, regular use rather than prolonged standing. The current 86,928 miles recorded in June 2025 shows a slight slowdown in the most recent year, covering 12,360 miles since the previous June. This steady accumulation points to a vehicle driven regularly, avoiding the moisture ingress and fluid degradation issues often associated with long-term storage. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential to verify the structural integrity of the 500's typical corrosion points. Buyers should scrutinise the inner wings, sills, and floor pans for any signs of surface or structural rust, as the Fiat 500 is particularly susceptible to corrosion in these areas. Suspension components, including the front lower arm bushes and rear torsion beam mounting points, require a close visual check for cracking or deterioration, given the 86,928 miles of urban driving. Brake condition also warrants a hands-on assessment. Although no binding calipers or worn discs have appeared on the tester's report, the car's age and mileage mean the brake fluid likely requires a moisture content test, and the disc faces should be inspected for lipping or corrosion. Tyre condition and date codes must be verified, as uneven wear could indicate subtle tracking issues not severe enough to trigger a test failure but detrimental to handling.
