2021 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EU71 VTW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2025-05-10 at 18,509 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the past 14 months, as the 2024-09-24 test at 14,297 miles also showed no issues. However, the absence of a test since May 2025—over 14 months ago—means the current roadworthiness cannot be confirmed. The lack of recorded defects suggests the car has been well-maintained, but the extended gap between tests raises concerns about potential undetected issues. The mileage history shows a low annual average of 3,702 miles, consistent with light use. The 2024-09-24 test at 14,297 miles was followed by a 4,212-mile increase to 18,509 miles by May 2025, a period of 8 months. This rapid accumulation may indicate increased usage or incomplete mileage tracking. The sparse MOT record, with no advisories or failures, suggests the vehicle has not required urgent repairs, but the low mileage could also mean components like suspension bushes or brake discs have not been subjected to typical wear. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in areas prone to moisture, and check the condition of the exhaust system, which is not tested during MOTs. The absence of brake-related defects in the record does not rule out binding calipers or uneven brake disc wear, which may require a specialist inspection. Additionally, the low mileage might have led to dry rot in rubber components, such as the timing belt or suspension bushings, warranting a thorough mechanical examination.
