2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MF63 VRP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the car passed its test in January 2026 at 70,769 miles, it initially failed due to misaligned headlamps, an inoperative offside rear stop lamp, and worn front brake discs. The fact that these issues were rectified to secure a pass suggests the owner is willing to address defects once flagged, though the appearance of multiple failures indicates a lapse in preventative inspections. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,769 miles represents a low usage profile of approximately 5,444 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, with 3,063 miles covered between December 2022 and December 2023, and another 3,092 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. This low mileage typically means less wear on drivetrain components and engine internals, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front braking system specifically, as the pitting and scoring noted in the January 2026 test suggest the discs are suffering from corrosion from low-frequency use. The minor exhaust leak reported in December 2023 should also be verified to ensure it has not developed into a larger structural failure in the manifold or piping. Given the age of the vehicle and low mileage, a thorough check of the undercarriage for corrosion and perished suspension bushings is essential, as these parts often age faster than they wear out on low-mile cars.
