2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LG16 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record in its most recent assessment. The May 2025 test at 48,851 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the vehicle experienced two failures in May 2023 and May 2025, these appear to be administrative or procedural rather than mechanical, as no specific defects were listed for those failures. This suggests the vehicle is currently in a consistent state of roadworthiness. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,885 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 37,215 miles in May 2023 to 41,615 miles in May 2024, and finally 48,851 miles in May 2025. This consistent, low-level usage pattern suggests the car has been used primarily for short trips or light commuting rather than heavy long-distance driving. Because the MOT history is devoid of specific mechanical advisories, there are no immediate red flags regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake corrosion. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes lead to issues with seals or battery health due to infrequent use. A physical inspection should focus on checking for any signs of fluid leaks or perished rubber components that often occur when a car sits for extended periods. A buyer should also verify the service history to complement this clean MOT record. While the MOT confirms the vehicle meets minimum legal standards, it does not cover the mechanical servicing required to maintain the engine and drivetrain. Given the low mileage, ensuring the oil and coolant have been changed at regular intervals despite the low usage will be essential for long-term reliability.
