2015 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · FG65 XKA

The vehicle presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 16 October 2025 at 37,501 miles. The MOT record is entirely free of advisories or defects across the last four years, indicating consistent mechanical upkeep. A minor anomaly appears on 26 September 2025 at 37,452 miles, where the vehicle failed despite recording zero defects. This typically points to an abandoned test or a procedural issue rather than a mechanical failure, and the subsequent clean pass three weeks later confirms the car met all required standards. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage, averaging roughly 3,409 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 540 miles, followed by 350 miles in the subsequent year, and 539 miles in the most recent twelve-month period. This shallow, consistent curve suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or used exclusively for short, localized trips. Such low usage prevents the accelerated wear of consumables but introduces specific risks associated with prolonged inactivity. Given the absence of recurring mechanical faults in the record, the buyer's focus must shift to the inherent risks of a low-mileage, eleven-year-old city car. Standing for extended periods can cause flat-spotting on tyres and binding in brake calipers, even if the discs and pads appear visually adequate. Inspect the FIAT 500C's suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as a lack of regular use does not prevent rubber components from degrading with age. The folding roof mechanism demands a full operational check to ensure the hydraulic rams and fabric remain watertight and free of mechanical corrosion. Verify the exhaust system for internal condensation corrosion, a common issue on vehicles that rarely reach optimal operating temperature. The complete lack of historical defects proves the car was well-maintained, but age-related deterioration requires a thorough physical inspection.
