2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EA15 FWR

The 2015 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 70,781 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the five-year DVSA history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern. Mileage sits at 70,781 against an eleven-year lifespan, averaging roughly 6,435 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The records trace a steady climb: 57,365 miles in March 2023, 62,062 in April 2024, 66,134 in April 2025, and 70,781 in March 2026. The sparse but consistent entries show no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps, and the single failed test on 7 April 2025 at 66,134 miles carries no recorded defect, suggesting an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the clean sheet. The MOT only captures failures and visible advisories on the test day, so suspension bushes, coil springs, brake disc wear, and underbody corrosion may develop between tests without appearing in the record. The Fiat 500 of this era is prone to front lower wishbone degradation and rear axle rust where road salt exposure occurs. Given the low annual use, check for perishing rubber, flat-spotted tyres from standing, and stale fluid in the brake and coolant systems. The absence of advisories implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but a pre-purchase examination of structural integrity and consumable condition remains prudent before completion.
