2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DE61 AAA

The 2026‑03‑07 MOT at 65,643 miles passed with zero defects, confirming the Fiat 500 remains roadworthy and showing a stable maintenance trend with no worsening issues since the previous test. All earlier tests from 2023 through 2025 also recorded passes with no defects, indicating consistent upkeep. Mileage has risen from 42,423 miles in February 2023 to 65,643 miles in March 2026, a gain of roughly 23,220 miles over three years, or about 7,700 miles per year, which is slightly above the typical 6,500‑mile annual average for a ten‑year‑old vehicle. The interval between the 2023 test and the 2024 test is just over a year, and the subsequent tests occur annually, suggesting regular use without prolonged standing periods. The clean record at each checkpoint further implies that owners have kept the car serviced in line with its mileage. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, check the exhaust system for rust or leaks, and verify structural integrity for hidden chassis corrosion, as these components commonly deteriorate with age despite the absence of recorded faults. The lack of advisory notes in the MOT history does not guarantee the absence of early‑stage wear, so a physical inspection is essential.
