2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FJ16 XPS

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 March 2026 at 48,888 miles recorded no defects or advisories, maintaining a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been well-looked after and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low, averaging approximately 4,889 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a decade-year-old car. Between March 2022 (28,587 miles) and March 2026 (48,888 miles), the car covered 20,301 miles at a steady, moderate rate. This low usage indicates minimal wear on drivetrain components and suspension assemblies. However, the low frequency of use can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion of brake caliper seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between tests. While the clean MOT record is encouraging, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. Owners should check the condition of rubber elements such as suspension bushes and control arms for dry cracking, as these age with time rather than just distance. The brake discs should also be examined for surface rust or pitting resulting from infrequent use. Given the age of the Fiat, a thorough check of the chassis for structural corrosion remains necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed despite the lack of reported failures in the official record.
