2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FG62 NUP

The 2012 Fiat 500 demonstrates a stable maintenance trend, achieving a clean pass at its most recent test on 17 July 2025 at 105,133 miles. No defects were recorded for this pass. A failure is logged on the identical date and mileage, also listing no defects, which typically indicates an aborted test or an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical rejection. The overall trajectory shows no recurring faults, suggesting consistent upkeep without worsening or resolving issues. Covering 105,133 miles over roughly fourteen years equates to an annual average of approximately 7,510 miles, a typical figure for this model. Between the October 2023 test at 97,110 miles and the November 2024 test at 102,970 miles, the car accumulated 5,860 miles over thirteen months. The subsequent rise to 105,133 miles by July 2025 represents a further 2,163 miles across eight months. This mileage accumulation remains steady and unremarkable, showing no sudden spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity that might indicate long-term standing or severe neglect. With a completely clean MOT record devoid of advisories or mechanical failures, there are no recurring faults to target. A buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection typical for a Fiat 500 of this age. Focus on the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. Check the brake discs and calipers for signs of corrosion or binding, a common issue on city cars frequently used for short trips. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes. Verify the condition of the tyres and wiper blades, as these consumables are not flagged in the MOT but require regular replacement.
