2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FM64 YWS

The 2015 FIAT 500 currently holds a valid MOT certificate, demonstrating a stable maintenance trend following its most recent test on 25 February 2026 at 86,558 miles. Passing with zero defects indicates the vehicle met all required safety and emissions standards at that time. However, the record exhibits a peculiar anomaly in both 2024 and 2025, where the car failed its initial test on 29 February 2024 and 19 March 2025, yet the system recorded no specific defects for those failures. Despite these data inconsistencies, the subsequent passes on the same dates suggest any issues were rectified immediately, pointing to a stable, if oddly documented, maintenance trajectory. The recorded mileage aligns well with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,869 miles per year over its eleven-year lifespan. Examining the chronological intervals reveals a shift in usage patterns. Between the March 2024 pass at 78,863 miles and the March 2025 test at 81,504 miles, the car covered just 2,641 miles, indicating a period of lighter use. Conversely, the subsequent eleven months saw a sharper accumulation of 5,054 miles, reaching 86,558 miles by February 2026. This recent uptick in mileage suggests the vehicle is being driven more frequently, which accelerates wear on consumables like brake discs, suspension bushes, and tyres. Given the absence of recorded defects, the history provides no specific recurring mechanical faults to scrutinise. Nevertheless, the unexplained failures in 2024 and 2025 warrant a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should closely examine the exhaust system and emissions components, as an unrecorded failure often stems from a temporary exhaust fault or sensor issue that was subsequently reset or replaced. Furthermore, at 86,558 miles, the typical wear areas for this model require attention. Inspect the front suspension lower arms and anti-roll bar links for play, check the coil springs for corrosion or fracture, and measure the brake disc thickness and pad depth. The underbody should also be checked for structural corrosion, a common affliction for city cars of this vintage, particularly around the sills and subframes.
