2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MK66 HMH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 July 2025 at 24,918 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest in October 2024 after an initial failure that day. The transition from recorded failures to clean passes indicates that the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical issues once they are flagged by testers. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Data shows a gap of 3,193 miles between September 2023 and October 2024, followed by another 2,597 miles covered prior to the July 2025 test. While this low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests suggest the car sits stationary frequently. Such usage patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and the oxidation of brake surfaces. Despite the clean pass, a buyer must investigate the specific components that caused the failures in September 2023 and October 2024, as the provided record does not list the specific defect codes. Given the low mileage, these failures likely related to perishables such as perished perished tyres, seized bulbs, or light corrosion rather than structural fatigue. An inspection should focus on checking the tyre sidewalls for cracking and verifying that the brake calipers are not seizing due to long periods of inactivity. The structural integrity appears sound given the lack of advisories for rust or chassis corrosion.
