2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MF17 AEC

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 38,135 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates, indicating the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,237 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between October 2022 and September 2024, where the odometer rose from 18,376 to 32,826 miles. This period saw the car cover nearly 14,500 miles, a sharp increase compared to the 6,330 miles recorded between September 2021 and October 2022. The vehicle has remained relatively static since the September 2025 test. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a car of this age and suggests a high standard of preventative care. However, the low overall mileage and recent periods of inactivity increase the risk of dormant issues. A buyer should specifically check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewall cracking, which can occur when a vehicle stands for long intervals. Attention should also be paid to the braking system. While the MOT record shows no binding calipers or worn discs, low-mileage city cars often suffer from surface corrosion on the brake discs or seized sliders due to lack of frequent high-speed use. A physical inspection of the brake fluid condition and a check for any signs of chassis corrosion in typical Fiat 500 failure areas would complete a thorough due diligence process.
