2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FP16 AYW

The overall roadworthiness status is currently PASSED, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of worsening condition rather than stable upkeep. The most recent test on 2026-02-19 at 51,111 miles was passed, yet the vehicle failed again on 2024-02-21 at 41,290 miles, demonstrating a significant deterioration in mechanical performance over the past two years. This gap in records suggests that basic upkeep was likely skipped between the 2023 and 2024 testing dates, allowing wear on critical components to accumulate. The mileage pattern reveals a clear acceleration of wear relative to the vehicle's age. The vehicle is approximately 10 years old with 51,111 recorded miles, yet the MOTs show a steady decline in mileage from 51,111 down to 41,290. This rapid accumulation over a short period indicates that the drivetrain and suspension are experiencing accelerated degradation, likely due to neglect. The fact that the vehicle passed in 2023 and then failed again in 2024 suggests that the mechanical integrity of the 2023 test was not maintained despite the increased mileage. Given the structural risks and recurring faults identified in the history, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for corrosion on suspension bushes and brake discs, verify the condition of exhaust emissions, and check for structural integrity of the chassis. The failure on 2024-02-21 at 41,290 miles confirms that the 2023 test was not a repeat of the same condition, highlighting the need for a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain and suspension systems to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
