2008 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LL08 KSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean record over the last three years. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 67,743 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure on the same day. This momentary failure suggests a minor issue or a consumable item that was immediately rectified before the re-test, as no specific faults were listed in the history for that date. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,764 miles per annum. Data shows a steady progression between November 2022 at 64,976 miles and November 2024 at 67,624 miles, representing only 2,648 miles covered over two years. This level of low usage frequency often reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation of rubber-based parts and potential corrosion of brake components due to lack of regular use. Given the clean MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on areas common to low-mileage aging cars. Particular attention requires payment to the structural integrity of the rear subframe and suspension mounts, where Fiat 500s are prone to corrosion over time. The buyer should also check for perished sidewalls or cracked suspension bushes, as low mileage does not prevent material fatigue in rubber components. Checking the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers is also advisable, as the vehicle may have sat for extended periods between tests.
