2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FH65 EFV

The overall roadworthiness of this 2015 Fiat 500 is excellent, reflecting a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on July 25, 2025, at 26,877 miles passed with zero defects recorded. An anomalous fail entry exists for the exact same date and mileage without listed defects, likely representing a data recording error or an aborted initial test, but the consistent pass outcomes demonstrate sound mechanical condition. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,443 miles annually. Between the August 2023 test at 20,797 miles and the July 2024 test at 23,480 miles, the car covered 2,683 miles. The following year saw slightly higher usage, accumulating 3,397 miles by the July 2025 test at 26,877 miles. This remains remarkably low annual mileage, indicating the vehicle has likely spent significant periods stationary or used exclusively for short, localized trips. Despite the flawless MOT record, prolonged stationary periods and short-trip driving pose specific risks not captured during a standard test. A buyer must inspect the tyres thoroughly, checking the sidewall date codes and tread depth, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perishing and flat-spotting rather than wear. Suspension bushes and coil springs require close examination for deterioration caused by lack of use. Brake discs and calipers demand attention for surface corrosion and potential binding, a common issue when a car sits unused. The exhaust system must be checked for internal condensation corrosion, which thrives in vehicles that never reach optimal operating temperature.
