2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DF17 AET

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 April 2025 at 67,093 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to April 2022, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a nine year old city car. The vehicle covered 33,574 miles between the April 2022 test at 31,519 miles and the April 2025 test at 67,093 miles. This averages roughly 11,000 miles per year over the last three years, which is a slight increase from the overall lifetime average of 7,455 miles per year. There are no erratic mileage jumps or suspicious gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or undisclosed heavy commercial use. The MOT record is unusually sparse regarding advisories, which is positive but requires a cautious physical inspection. The absence of flagged wear on brake discs, suspension bushes, or tyre tread over several years suggests either meticulous preventative maintenance or a very lenient testing regime. A buyer should specifically check for underbody corrosion and the condition of the exhaust system, as these structural elements are not always highlighted if they have not yet reached a failure threshold. Given the lack of recorded faults, focus the physical inspection on consumables that do not always trigger an MOT failure until they are critical. Check the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical interval items for this engine. Verify the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads to ensure the current clean MOT reflects actual mechanical health rather than just the minimum legal requirement.
