2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · KS18 AAO

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 11 June 2025 at 51,183 miles, confirming its roadworthiness. The maintenance trend appears exceptionally stable, as the car has passed its last three annual inspections without a single recorded advisory or failure item. While the record shows immediate re-tests following initial failures in 2024 and 2025, these instances lack specific defect codes, suggesting these were likely administrative or minor procedural errors rather than underlying mechanical faults. The recorded mileage of 51,183 over eight years averages approximately 6,398 miles per annum, which aligns with typical light-to-moderate usage for a city car. The consistent, incremental mileage accumulation between June 2023 and June 2025 indicates the vehicle has remained in regular operation rather than suffering from prolonged periods of inactivity. This steady usage pattern generally benefits mechanical components, as it helps prevent the premature seizure of brake calipers and the degradation of rubber seals that often occurs in long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems. Fiat 500 models of this vintage frequently exhibit wear in front suspension top mounts and lower wishbone bushes, which may not always be captured during a standard MOT test. You should also check the condition of the brake discs and pads for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, as the MOT record does not detail the remaining friction material thickness. Verify the operation of the electrical systems and ensure the exhaust system remains free from structural corrosion, as these are common areas of concern for this specific platform as it approaches its ninth year of service.
