2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MF62 MYC

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following an improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in October 2025 at 80,661 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and lighting issues have been addressed. This is a significant improvement over the May 2023 test where the car failed multiple criteria, suggesting the current owner is proactive in rectifying identified safety defects. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 80,661 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,762 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with 10,418 miles covered between November 2024 and October 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests and low mileage on a vehicle of this age can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid integrity if the car has sat stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer should personally inspect the front tyres specifically, as the November 2024 test flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This uneven wear often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes which should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement. Although the nearside front passenger door and wiper blades failed in 2023, these should be tested to ensure the mechanisms remain fully functional and not prone to seizing. Given the vehicle's age, a thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills and wheel arches remains essential, as the MOT record does not yet highlight any rust issues.
