2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NG15 ADZ

The most recent MOT test on 19 December 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 33,020 miles. This marks a stable trend over the past three tests, as the car has consistently passed without fail since November 2023, despite a minor anomaly in December 2024 where it was initially failed before being retested and passing on the same day. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the vehicle has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of defects does not preclude underlying issues that might not have been detected during a standard MOT. The recorded mileage of 33,020 miles over approximately 11 years—roughly 3,000 miles per year—indicates unusually light usage for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is consistent, with no rapid mileage accumulation or prolonged periods of inactivity between December 2024 and December 2025. While low mileage can imply less wear on high-stress components, it may also suggest the car has been stored or used infrequently, which could accelerate deterioration in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health. The lack of intermediate MOTs or service records means there is no evidence of proactive maintenance beyond the statutory requirements. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which are prone to premature failure in lightly used vehicles due to lack of movement. The brakes, while not flagged in the MOT, should be closely examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stored for extended periods. Corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the subframe should also be assessed, as rust can develop even in low-mileage cars if they have been exposed to moisture or poor storage conditions. The battery, given the infrequent use, may require testing for capacity, and the exhaust system should be checked for leaks or excessive corrosion, particularly around joints and mounts.
