2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FN13 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent test on 24 April 2026 at 101,015 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows two consecutive years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,770 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 21,791 miles in 2016 to the current 101,015 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or sudden surges in mileage that would suggest long periods of inactivity or heavy commercial use. The consistent annual increments indicate regular, predictable usage. Historical data reveals past attention was required for consumable components and minor leaks. In May 2023 at 76,863 miles, the tester flagged light oil misting on both front shock absorbers. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests without further mention of this, a buyer should inspect the dampers for any signs of renewed weeping or fluid leakage. The 2020 failure at 60,086 miles highlighted contaminated brake fluid, worn front pads, and corroded brake hoses. Although these items were resolved to achieve a pass, the history of brake component wear and hose corrosion warrants a physical inspection of the braking system and hydraulic lines to ensure no further degradation has occurred. The record also shows minor issues with registration plate deterioration and tyre wear in earlier years, such as the 2017 advisory regarding a nearside front tyre. Given the age of the vehicle, a thorough check of the suspension bushes, ball joints, and all rubber components is advised to ensure the integrity of the chassis and steering remains intact.
