2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DG62 GXP

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted in September 2025 at 79,447 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific issue was identified and rectified immediately before the retest. Since the 2024 inspection, the car has passed consecutive tests without advisories, indicating the mechanical condition remains consistent under current use. The mileage profile is notably low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,675 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2024, the car covered 2,371 miles, while it covered 3,068 miles in the year leading up to the September 2025 test. This low annual usage typically reduces wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though such mileage patterns can sometimes lead to rubber-based components like suspension bushes or brake seals degrading due to periods of inactivity. Despite the clean record in recent tests, a buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on common failure points for the Fiat 500. Inspect the underside sills for structural corrosion and check the suspension geometry for signs of play, as these areas age regardless of mileage. Given the failures recorded in 2023 and 2025, verify that the repairs made following those tests were comprehensive and not merely temporary fixes. Check the brake discs for pitting or uneven wear to ensure the low-usage pattern has not resulted in surface oxidation of the braking system.
