2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NA12 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-16 at 84,027 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. However, a prior failure on 2024-05-10 at 75,004 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests an anomaly in the testing process or unresolved issues. Subsequent tests in 2024-05-17 (75,255 miles) and 2023-04-08 (65,116 miles) showed no defects, implying corrective action was taken. The pattern from 2022 to 2025 reflects consistent compliance, though the 2024 failure raises questions about potential underlying concerns not captured in the record. Mileage progression shows an average of 6,002 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for a 14-year-old vehicle. Notable gaps include a 1,141-mile increase between the 2023-04-08 test (65,116 miles) and 2024-05-10 test (75,004 miles), suggesting a period of heightened usage. The 2024-05-17 test at 75,255 miles followed swiftly, indicating possible maintenance or repair activity. The absence of recurring defects in the record implies generally good upkeep, though the lack of detailed advisories limits insight into minor wear. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, given the vehicle’s age, and check brake components for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common in older cars. The exhaust system and underbody should be scrutinised for rust, particularly around the chassis and subframe, to assess structural integrity. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the 2024 anomaly warrants verification of any unresolved issues through a pre-purchase inspection.
