2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LN62 APK

The 2012 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy following its most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 16,412 miles, where the tester passed it with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the available history is stable, with every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 resulting in a pass and no advisories raised. A failed entry on 26 June 2025 at 16,411 miles sits immediately before the same-day pass, with no defects logged against either result, indicating an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. The odometer shows remarkably low use for a fourteen-year-old vehicle. From the 25 June 2022 test at 14,702 miles to the 24 June 2023 test at 15,379 miles, the car covered only 677 miles. By 1 July 2024 it read 15,912 miles, then 16,412 by June 2025. That averages roughly 1,172 miles per year. Such limited annual accumulation suggests prolonged standing periods or short local journeys, though the record contains no gaps longer than the standard twelve-month cycle. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left idle often develop perished rubber components and corroded brake surfaces despite clean MOT sheets. The DVSA data flags no structural integrity concerns, exhaust emissions failures, or recurring wear items such as tyres and wiper blades across the five-year span. Given the absence of advisories and the consistent pass record, previous ownership appears to have kept basic statutory testing current without neglect. The identical-mileage fail and pass on 26 June 2025 warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted defect entry. Otherwise the mechanical evidence supports a sound, lightly used example.
