2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MF59 FNT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass on October 30, 2025 at 64,222 miles. While the car failed the test on that same day due to non-functional nearside and offside stop lamps, this minor electrical fault was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has passed three consecutive annual tests without any recorded advisories or mechanical failures over the last three years. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,222 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,778 miles per year. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the records, with only 1,531 miles clocked between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. Such low annual mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and braking system components, though it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and seals if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension, specifically checking for the oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in November 2023 at 61,642 miles. Although this did not result in a failure, persistent misting indicates a weakening seal that will eventually require replacement. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection should also focus on checking for corrosion on the sills and underbody, as these are common points of structural failure for this model regardless of low mileage.
