2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DV67 XNA

The 2017 FIAT 500 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 44,848 miles. The tester recorded zero defects on the pass certificate. A failed test also appears on the same date at 44,847 miles, though notably, no defects were recorded for this failure. This anomaly typically indicates an aborted test or an administrative discrepancy rather than a mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed cleanly immediately after with no rectification mileage or parts noted. The absence of any advisories or failures across the last three years demonstrates consistent mechanical integrity. The recorded mileage equates to roughly 4,983 miles per year, marking this as an exceptionally low-mileage example for a nine-year-old vehicle. The history reveals a period of extremely light use between October 2022 at 22,194 miles and October 2023 at 39,278 miles, representing an unusual spike of 17,084 miles in a single year. Following this surge, usage normalized dramatically, with only 4,380 miles covered between October 2023 and September 2024, and a mere 1,188 miles added between September 2024 and October 2025. Such sporadic accumulation suggests the vehicle spent significant periods stationary, which demands careful inspection of perishable components like rubber seals and tyres. Despite the pristine MOT record, the mileage profile warrants a thorough physical inspection. Prolonged inactivity can cause suspension bushes and brake calipers to seize or corrode, even if the vehicle currently passes its roadworthiness checks. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often require replacement due to deterioration rather than tread wear. The sharp mileage jump in 2023 followed by two years of minimal use raises questions about the vehicle's purpose during that period. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills for corrosion, a common issue for city cars that sit dormant. A test drive will confirm whether the drivetrain and braking system operate smoothly without the binding or stiffness often associated with intermittent use.
