2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FP16 SXO

The 2016 FIAT 500 presents a stable and highly consistent maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass at its most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 44,057 miles. Every recorded test in the vehicle's history has passed without a single defect or advisory, indicating a well-maintained mechanical condition free of recurring faults. The maintenance trajectory is entirely stable, showing no signs of deterioration or escalating wear across the documented period. Accumulating just 44,057 miles over a decade translates to an annual average of roughly 4,406 miles, which is exceptionally low for its age. The mileage progression reveals a distinct drop-off in usage over recent years; the car covered 6,956 miles between June 2021 and May 2022, but the annual distance covered has steadily dwindled to just 1,161 miles between June 2024 and May 2025. Such minimal recent use suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary, a pattern that can sometimes lead to deterioration of rubber components and brake surfaces despite the low mileage. Although the MOT record is entirely free of flagged defects, the prolonged periods of inactivity warrant a focused physical inspection. A buyer should thoroughly examine the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, which commonly develop when a car sits unused. Brake discs and calipers require close scrutiny for surface corrosion and potential binding, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from rust accumulation rather than frictional wear. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should also be checked for perishing, as rubber degrades with age and lack of use just as readily as it does with mileage. Given that the last MOT certificate expired in May 2026, the vehicle currently lacks a valid roadworthiness certificate. A prospective buyer must factor the cost and outcome of a fresh test into any purchase decision, as the car cannot legally be driven on public roads until it passes a new inspection.
