2004 Fiat Barchetta 1.7L Petrol · KF54 NXM

This Fiat Barchetta presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 57,040 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to February 2023, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common age-related failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,593 miles per year. There has been a notable increase in usage over the last three years. Between February 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 5,400 miles. This trend continued into 2025, with 7,079 miles added by 30 January, and a further 7,219 miles added by the January 2026 test. This shift from light use to more regular driving often helps prevent the stagnation of seals and fluids. The lack of recorded advisories is unusual for a vehicle of this vintage and suggests a proactive approach to maintenance. However, the absence of flagged issues in the DVSA record does not guarantee the absence of wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the chassis and sills for corrosion, as testers may overlook surface rust that does not yet compromise structural integrity. Check the condition of the rubber suspension bushes and the softness of the engine mounts, as these components perish with age regardless of low mileage. Given the recent increase in annual mileage, verify the date of the last oil change and the condition of the brake discs to ensure they have not developed surface pitting from previous periods of inactivity.
