2008 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · CV08 UBA

The 2008 Fiat 500 shows a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 14 May 2025 at 98,218 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests in 2023 and 2022 also passed with no advisories, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening mechanical faults across the recorded period. The only anomaly is a failed test on 17 May 2024 at 95,591 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on the same date and mileage, which suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a genuine fault. The mileage pattern reflects light use for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,457 miles per year. The record moves from 81,443 miles at the May 2022 test to 89,895 miles in May 2023, then 95,591 miles in May 2024, and 98,218 miles by May 2025. Annual accumulation stayed between 2,600 and 6,700 miles with no abrupt jumps. The clean history across five years gives little evidence of neglected consumables, though sparse testing beyond this window leaves earlier care unverified. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low but ageing profile. The MOT data flags no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing periods implied by low mileage can conceal perished rubber components or binding calipers not caught in a static test. Verify the May 2024 failure reason with DVSA, as the no-defect entry paired with an instant pass points to a clerical issue rather than mechanical risk. Otherwise, the record supports a well-kept example needing only standard age-related checks before purchase.
