2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · H12 DBO

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent 2025-10-03 MOT at 85,388 miles resulting in a pass with no defects. Previous tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. The single 2022-09-26 failure recorded at 61,774 miles did not list specific defects, suggesting a procedural or minor non-compliance. No recurring mechanical faults or escalating issues are evident in the history, supporting the conclusion of a reliably maintained vehicle. Mileage progression aligns with the expected 6,099 miles per year, though a notable 132-mile increase between 2022-09-26 and 2022-10-03 raises questions about the car’s usage during that period. Subsequent annual increments from 61,906 to 85,388 miles show steady growth, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The absence of repeated advisories or failures in the MOT record suggests the vehicle has not experienced significant wear beyond normal aging. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for signs of wear given the car’s age. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these can develop over time. The exhaust system and underbody corrosion are also critical areas, as they are common issues in older vehicles. While the MOT history shows no immediate concerns, physical verification of these elements is essential to confirm the car’s continued roadworthiness.
