2008 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FH08 AAN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 December 2025 at 129,727 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard following immediate failures. The history shows a pattern where the owner addresses necessary faults promptly to secure a pass, suggesting a reactive but functional approach to mechanical upkeep rather than a preventative maintenance strategy given the lack of recorded long-term advisories. At 129,727 miles over 18 years, the Fiat has averaged approximately 7,200 miles per year. This figure aligns closely with typical light usage for a city car of this age. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with roughly 7,400 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 7,500 miles covered between November 2024 and December 2025. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for extended periods, which helps prevent the premature degradation of rubber seals and fluid components. Despite the lack of recorded advisories in the last three tests, a buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity and suspension components. High-age Fiat 500s are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear subframe, which may not be flagged until structural deformation becomes significant. The buyer should also check for excessive play in the suspension bushes and coil springs, as the high mileage puts significant stress on these parts. Since the MOT record shows failures followed immediately by passes, verifying the current brake system for binding calipers or worn discs is essential to ensure no recurring mechanical issues are being masked between test cycles.
