AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 12 December 2025 at 136,983 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car met all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was recorded on 6 December 2024 at 130,642 miles, the immediate retest just five days later suggests the owner was proactive in addressing any immediate issues to return the car to the road. The mileage pattern is consistent with a vehicle of 18 years's age, averaging approximately 7,600 miles per year. This low annual accumulation aligns with typical light urban use for a small city car. The data shows regular intervals, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between the October 2022 and November 2023 tests, and another 5,100 miles between November 2023 and December 2024. This consistency suggests the vehicle is not sat stationary for long periods, which helps in preventing internal component seizing and extending the life of rubber components. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as Fiat 500 models from this era are prone to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Although the MOT record shows no recent advisories, the inspection of the suspension bushes and control arms is vital, as these often perish over two decades regardless of mileage. Given the low annual mileage, checking the brake discs for surface pitting or binding calipers is advisable to ensure the braking system has not suffered from periods of inactivity use.
