2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LB62 AEX

The vehicle presents a stable profile of roadworthiness, evidenced by a string of clean passes over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in March 2026 at 78,511 miles recorded no defects whatsoever, indicating that the car is currently meeting all minimum safety and environmental standards. This recent trend suggests a consistent maintenance approach where the vehicle has moved without significant mechanical or structural failures since early 2022. The mileage history is notably low for a fourteen-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per annum. However, a significant anomaly in usage patterns exists between December 2019 and March 2021, where the odometer jumped from 60,511 miles to 103,275 miles in just fifteen months. Since that high-intensity period, usage has returned to a much more sedentary pace, covering roughly 3,000 miles annually. While the low overall mileage reduces wear on drivetrain components, the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and seals may be a concern despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that have previously shown failure or are prone to age-related degradation. The failure in December 2019 at 60,511 miles due to thin brake pads necessitates a thorough check of the current pad thickness and disc condition for pitting or uneven wear. The 2021 failure regarding the offside wiper and reversing lamp indicates that minor electrical and peripheral maintenance items were previously overlooked. Given the low mileage and high age, inspect the chassis for corrosion and check the suspension bushes for cracking, as low-mileage older Fiat models often suffer from sitting stationary for extended periods.
