2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MX68 MPF

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT result indicates a minor setback. While the February 2026 test initially resulted in a failure due to the nearside rear exhaust silencer being likely to become detached, the subsequent pass on the same day confirms this specific issue was rectified. Aside from this isolated exhaust fault, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record over the last five years. The mileage pattern confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 2,687 miles per year since its inception. The data shows a steady, gradual accumulation of distance, moving from 12,028 miles in September 2021 to 21,495 miles in February 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which is a common factor in the specific types of wear noted in the history. A recurring trend of tyre degradation appears in the records, with both nearside and offside rear tyres flagged for cracking or perishing in both the February 2024 and March 2025 tests. This pattern is a direct consequence of low mileage and long periods of standing, where rubber compounds perish due to age rather than tread wear. A buyer should inspect all four tyres for similar sidewall cracking or age-related deterioration, as the history suggests the vehicle may be prone to such age-related consumable issues. The recent exhaust silencer failure warrants a physical check to ensure the mounting points and hangers are secure and free from excessive corrosion. Given the low usage, the buyer should also verify that the battery and various rubber components, such as suspension bushes and engine mounts, have not suffered from the typical degradation associated with vehicles that sit idle for extended periods.
