2009 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · EA59 JOJ

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record of passing its most recent MOT on 3 May 2025 at 106,004 miles. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories over the last three years indicates a car that is currently meeting the minimum legal safety standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is consistent with the age of the vehicle, averaging roughly 6,236 miles per year. Between the April 2023 test at 97,493 miles and the May 2025 test at 106,004 miles, the car covered 8,511 miles. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has avoided long periods of standing, which typically helps prevent seals from perishing and braking systems from seizing. While the MOT history is remarkably clean, the lack of advisories on a seventeen year old car is unusual. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for corrosion and check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these components often wear regardless of whether they trigger an MOT failure. The convertible roof mechanism and seals also require a manual check to ensure they operate smoothly and remain watertight. The record shows two instances where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day, specifically on 11 April 2023 and 2 May 2025. Because the DVSA record lists no specific defects for these failures, it suggests the issues were minor or administrative. However, a thorough check of the brake discs and pads is advised to ensure they are not nearing the end of their service life, given the total mileage.
