2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · ML59 KBU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted in November 2025 at 100,371 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just three miles prior at the same mileage. This suggests that any minor issues identified by the tester were immediately rectified to meet roadworthiness standards. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates a vehicle that currently meets minimum requirements. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 17-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 1,631 miles between September 2023 and November 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 1,469 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This suggests the car is used sporadically or may have sat for extended periods. However, low mileage on an older Fiat can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and brake corrosion, which are not always captured in annual tests. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as older Fiat 500 models are prone to corrosion in the sills and rear wheel arches. Despite the clean MOT history, the buyer must check for seized brake calipers or pitted discs resulting from low-frequency use. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking or perished rubber, as the age of the vehicle often causes material fatigue regardless of the low mileage..
