2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · HY12 MRO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a recent successful MOT on 23 May 2025 at 69,993 miles. The record shows a consistent pattern of passing the test following a failure, which suggests that minor issues are being addressed promptly. The most recent test shows no defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at the time of inspection. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2012 vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. Between 27 May 2023 and 23 May 2025, the vehicle covered 10,199 miles. This low annual usage often implies lighter mechanical strain on the engine and drivetrain, though it can sometimes lead to perished rubber components or seized calipers due to infrequent use. The data shows a steady, predictable progression of mileage without any sudden spikes. The repeated failures in May 2024 and May 2025, occurring just days or weeks before a successful retest, suggest the vehicle has encountered minor, non-structural issues that were rectified. While the current record is clean, a physical inspection should focus on checking for signs of corrosion on the underside, particularly on the exhaust and suspension mounting points, which is common for vehicles of this age. A buyer should specifically examine the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as well as the brake discs for uneven wear or pitting. Given the low mileage and potential for standing, check that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking and that the brake calipers are not binding. The absence of advisories in the most recent test is a positive indicator of current upkeep.
