2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · ML59 KBF

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test on 9 March 2026 at 71,079 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following an initial failure on the same day. This immediate rectification suggests that a minor issue was identified and corrected quickly before the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a clean sheet across the previous three annual inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. Between March 2023 (65,884 miles) and March 2026 (71,079 miles), the car covered just 5,195 miles. This consistent, low-intensity usage typically reduces the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine-related components. However, such low mileage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and brake fluid if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. Given the clean MOT history regarding mechanical failures, a physical inspection should focus on structural integrity common to this era of Fiat 500. Inspect the underside and sills and rear arches for surface corrosion or structural rust, as low mileage does not prevent age-related oxidation. You should also check the suspension bushes and tyres for cracking or perished rubber, as these materials degrade due to time regardless of the low distance recorded.
