2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EY17 ADV

The 2017 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 39,799 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes since at least February 2022. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied history, so the vehicle shows no worsening or recurring defect pattern across five consecutive annual tests. Mileage accumulation has been consistently low for a nine-year-old car. The record shows 28,551 miles at the 2 February 2022 test, rising to 33,810 by 4 February 2023, 36,224 on 30 January 2024, 37,309 on 27 January 2025, and 39,799 on 27 January 2026. That equates to roughly 2,600 miles per year over the documented period and about 4,400 miles annually across the vehicle's life. The data is sparse before 2022 but the five recorded tests are clean and evenly spaced, with no sudden jumps or standing gaps that would hint at odometer irregularity or deferred testing. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection despite the fault-free record. Low annual mileage combined with the car's age means suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers may have suffered from prolonged static corrosion or seized through lack of use rather than wear. The absence of advisories does not confirm structural integrity beneath sills or subframes, where road salt attack on a Fiat of this era often develops unseen. Check brake disc condition and handbrake operation for binding caused by inactivity. Verify tyre sidewall age and cracking even though tread passed, as nine-year-old rubber degrades regardless of miles. Inspect exhaust emissions and mountings for internal rust. The MOT history implies a lightly used, well-presented car, but paper passes alone never substitute for a ramp-based survey of chassis and drivetrain.
