2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DA61 BOO

The 2016 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 February 2026 at 81,104 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,110 miles per year. The DVSA data shows 51,059 miles in February 2023, 60,011 miles in February 2024, 69,641 miles in January 2025, and 81,104 miles in February 2026. Annual accumulation stayed consistent at around 9,000 to 11,000 miles, with no standing periods or sudden high-use spikes evident. The history is sparse but clean, showing only a failed test on 5 February 2024 at 60,011 miles with no defects listed, immediately followed by a pass on 6 February 2024 at the same mileage. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clear MOT record. The 2024 failure with no recorded defects suggests an administrative or unclassified issue rather than a mechanical fault, but the DVSA entry gives no detail on what the tester initially rejected. Suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion should be visually checked, as these items are not always captured without advisories. Given the absence of flagged wear on consumables such as tyres or wiper blades, previous owners appear to have maintained basic upkeep to test standard. The clean pass sequence from 2023 to 2026 implies no neglected mechanical risks, though pre-purchase checks on exhaust emissions and structural integrity remain prudent on a car of this age.
