2016 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · FM65 VBD

The 2016 Fiat 500C presents a currently roadworthy status following a passed MOT on 20 January 2026 at 69,511 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with three passes and two administrative-style failures logged at identical mileages on the test dates. The most recent failure on 20 January 2026 showed no defects at 69,511 miles, corrected by a pass the same day, indicating a paperwork or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at a typical 6,951 miles per year for a ten-year-old car. The record moves from 61,111 miles on 25 January 2024 to 65,414 miles on 21 January 2025, then 65,426 miles on 28 January 2025, and 69,511 miles by 20 January 2026. Gaps between tests are roughly annual with no sudden accumulation. The clean advisories across all entries suggest light use and no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the convertible 500C body style and age. The DVSA record shows no mechanical defects, yet the January 2025 and January 2026 failures with zero defects imply the previous owner relied on retests rather than addressing hidden issues. Check coil springs, exhaust emissions, and brake discs in person before purchase. Given the sparse but clean history, consumable wear remains the main unknown. The low mileage and fault-free tests imply basic upkeep was maintained, though standing periods common to low-use convertibles can age rubber seals and brake components. Verify service stamps against the 69,511-mile odometer reading.
