2016 Fiat 124 1.4L Petrol · EU66 RXG

The most recent MOT, dated 8 May 2026, was a clean pass at 19,919 miles with no defects recorded. The same outcome appears in each of the previous four annual tests (2025‑2022), all of which also show a pass and no recorded issues. Across the five‑year span the vehicle’s mileage has risen from 13,276 miles in May 2022 to 19,919 miles in May 2026 – an average of roughly 2,000 miles per year. For a ten‑year‑old 2016 FIAT 124 this is very low mileage, suggesting the car has been lightly used or spent long periods idle. Low use generally means less wear on consumables such as brakes, tyres, suspension bushings and the drivetrain, but it can also mask problems that develop when a vehicle sits for extended periods (e.g., dried seals, battery degradation, corrosion in hidden areas). The MOT record shows a stable trend: every annual test has passed with no recorded defects, indicating no emerging safety‑related faults over the last five years. There is no evidence of a worsening pattern; the vehicle appears to have remained mechanically sound throughout the documented period. Because the mileage signal is ambiguous – low use can be positive for wear but may hide age‑related deterioration – a buyer should focus on items that can suffer from long‑term inactivity. In person, inspect the condition of the tyres (check tread depth and age), verify that the battery holds charge, look for any signs of rust or corrosion around the wheel arches and under the chassis, and examine the suspension and brake components for wear or leaks. A full service history and a visual check of fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid) will also help confirm that the car has been maintained despite its low mileage.
