2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CX62 YMA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 20 2025 at 83,461 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend after a failure just eleven days prior, where the tester flagged the offside front suspension arm pin or bush as excessively worn. The fact that this fault was rectified immediately to achieve a subsequent pass suggests the owner is responsive to MOT safety requirements, though the initial failure highlights that suspension components are reaching their natural service life. At 14 years of age, the recorded mileage of 83,461 miles reflects low annual usage averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with a gap of roughly 10,000 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and another 1,700 miles between mid-2024 and mid-2025. While low mileage generally preserves mechanical components like the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading due to sitting stationary for long periods. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the recent repair to the offside arm was thorough and that the adjacent nearside side shows no signs of similar perished bushes. The 2023 record noted a non-excessive oil leak from the sump, which warrants a visual check under the vehicle to ensure the leak has not worsened over time. Additionally, given the history of perished tyres and uneven wear in 2023, the current tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and adequate depth despite the vehicle's low overall mileage.
