2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EY09 ULP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 17 December 2025 at 82 127 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding test on 7 January 2025 at 79 849 miles also passed, indicating that the issues noted in earlier years have been resolved and the maintenance trend is improving. The gap between the two latest tests is within the standard twelve‑month interval, confirming that the car has been kept compliant up to the present date. Mileage accumulation since 2025 shows a modest increase of 2 278 miles over roughly eleven months, averaging around 2 500 miles per year. This is well below the overall average of 4 831 miles per year for a 2009 model, suggesting light use or periods of storage. The earlier records from 2021‑2020 show higher mileage jumps (e.g., 63 267 miles in June 2020 to 68 090 miles in May 2021), but the recent pattern is stable and low, reflecting consistent, low‑intensity operation. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for wear in the lower front arm bushes and rear shock‑absorber bushes, checking for play and deteriorated dust covers. Brake components require close examination: verify pad thickness, inspect discs for pitting or scoring, and assess rear brake fluctuation. The exhaust system shows repeated corrosion of the back‑box outer skin and silencer; visual inspection for rust and secure mounting is advisable. Tyre condition is a recurring concern, with notes on perishing treads, under‑inflation, and edge wear; a thorough tread depth check and pressure test are essential. Finally, look for any oil residue around the engine, as this may indicate a leak that should be addressed.
