2008 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LD58 TGK

The 2026‑01‑05 MOT at 43,576 miles passed without any defects recorded, confirming that the vehicle remains roadworthy and that the maintenance record shows no worsening trend. The recent pass follows earlier tests in 2024 and 2023 that also listed no defects, indicating a stable condition over the past three years. At 18 years old the 43,576‑mile total equates to an average of 2,421 miles per year, a figure that is low for this age and suggests the car has spent much of its life stationary or used sparingly. The mileage jumps from 40,125 miles in November 2023 to 41,329 miles in December 2024, an increase of 1,204 miles in one year, then rises more gradually to the current reading. A buyer should therefore focus on the mechanical components that can degrade with age despite the low mileage: suspension bushes and coil springs, rear brake calipers and discs, and any signs of structural rust or exhaust corrosion. The MOT history shows no recorded defects, but the occasional failure entries in 2023 and 2024 imply that non‑mechanical items such as documentation or emissions may have caused the failures, so a thorough visual check of the chassis and under‑body is advisable. The clean MOT record and low annual mileage suggest the vehicle has been well‑maintained, yet a physical inspection of the suspension, brake hardware and tyre condition is essential to confirm that wear has not outpaced the documented mileage.
