2022 Fiat 500 RED Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FV22 YPY

A consistent record of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent MOT passed on 02 January 2026 showing no mechanical failures. While the latest test includes minor advisories regarding items obstructing the driver's view and the adjustment of internal headlight levels, these are non-mechanical observations rather than indicators of component degradation or structural issues. The transition from a defect-free result in January 2025 to the current status suggests a stable testing history with no recorded patterns of recurring failures or deteriorating mechanical components. The vehicle has covered 46,969 miles over its four-year lifespan, representing an average annual accumulation of approximately 11,742 miles. This usage profile is consistent with typical UK driving patterns and suggests a regular operating cycle rather than infrequent or sporadic use. Mechanically, this level of mileage means that while the vehicle is not a low-mileage example, it has not been subjected to excessive heavy-duty wear, though standard consumable items such as brake pads, discs, and suspension bushes will be approaching mid-life replacement intervals. Given the specific advisories noted in the January 2026 test, a prospective buyer should ensure that the dashboard and windscreen area are entirely clear of any aftermarket accessories or obstructions that could impair visibility. The mention of the internal headlight adjuster being altered suggests that the beam pattern should be verified during a test drive. Check that the headlight aim is consistent and does not wander or flicker, and ensure the beam does not strike road signs or oncoming traffic prematurely, which would indicate a fault with the adjustment mechanism or the light units themselves. Beyond the specific advisories, the lack of recorded defects in the previous year warrants a standard inspection of the vehicle's wear items. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic knocks or knocks from the suspension when traversing uneven surfaces, which could indicate worn bushes or dampers. Monitor the brake pedal for any unusual vibration or sponginess and ensure the steering remains centered without pulling to one side, as these checks will confirm the integrity of the steering and braking systems in the absence of any specific MOT-flagged issues.
