2013 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · LS63 XLT

The 2013 FIAT 500 presents a stable and clean maintenance trend, culminating in a pass at its most recent MOT on 9 October 2025 at 56,393 miles. The vehicle passed with zero recorded defects, indicating no immediate structural or mechanical failures at that time. A separate test on the same day recorded a failure at 56,392 miles, though no defects were documented, suggesting the issue was rectified and re-tested immediately. The absence of recurring failures or advisories across the recorded history demonstrates a consistent pattern of roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 56,393 miles over thirteen years equates to an annual average of roughly 4,338 miles, which is notably low for its age. The MOT data confirms this steady, low-mileage accumulation, progressing from 48,912 miles in October 2022 to 51,682 miles in October 2023, and reaching 54,390 miles by October 2024. The minimal mileage increase of just one mile between the failed and passed tests on 9 October 2025 further supports the likelihood of prolonged stationary periods rather than sustained daily commuting. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage warrants a thorough physical inspection of components prone to deterioration from inactivity. A buyer should inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion and binding, as short trips and standing time often prevent pads from wiping discs clean. Tyres must be checked for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Suspension bushes and exhaust mounts should be examined for perishing, while the underbody requires close scrutiny for structural corrosion, a common issue for city cars of this era that spend extended periods stationary.
