2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EY18 GEU

The 2018 Fiat 500 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no recorded defects across its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-08-01 inspection at 29,577 miles. All tests from 2021 to 2025 show consistent compliance, indicating reliable maintenance practices by previous owners. No advisories or critical failures were noted, suggesting the vehicle has been well-maintained within the scope of mandatory inspections. The absence of recurring issues across this period reflects a stable mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 29,577 miles at age eight years equates to approximately 3,697 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage rate aligns with consistent annual mileage increments of 3,000–4,000 miles, as seen between the 2021-06-25 test (15,986 miles) and 2025-08-01 test (29,577 miles). While this suggests infrequent use, it also raises potential concerns about long-term component degradation from inactivity, such as seized joints or battery drain. The MOT history lacks gaps, confirming regular testing but offering no insight into non-MOT-related maintenance. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of inactivity-related wear, including suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, which may exhibit stiffness or corrosion despite passing MOTs. The low mileage does not eliminate the need for a thorough check of exhaust emissions, structural integrity, and tyre condition, as these components can degrade without regular use. While the MOT record shows no faults, the vehicle’s usage pattern warrants a detailed pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical readiness.
