2008 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · GL08 WCE

The February 5 2026 MOT at 192,482 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend; the preceding February 10 2025 test at 178,291 miles also passed, albeit with a minor exhaust leak, showing no worsening of condition. Mileage has risen from 138,128 miles in February 2023 to 192,482 miles in February 2026, an average increase of roughly 14,500 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 18‑year age and typical usage patterns; each annual test interval shows consistent mileage growth without abrupt jumps. Recurring observations include a persistent product on both front headlamp lenses that does not seriously reduce light output, a non‑excessive oil leak noted since February 2024, and tyre wear that has progressed from near‑legal limits in 2023 to inner‑edge wear and sidewall perishing by 2026; the 2024 failure for insufficient washer fluid was remedied before the subsequent pass. A buyer should therefore examine tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, check brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear, inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for corrosion or damage, verify the exhaust system for leaks, assess the oil leak source, and test the washer fluid delivery, as these items represent the most frequently flagged mechanical and structural concerns.
