2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NG15 AEA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-11-20 at 80,082 miles confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded. This marks the fourth consecutive annual pass, suggesting consistent compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. The absence of recurring failures or advisories in the past two years indicates no obvious mechanical degradation or neglect. However, the duplicate entry for 2023—where the vehicle passed on 2023-01-30 and failed on 2023-11-27 at the same mileage—appears anomalous and may warrant clarification, though no specific faults were logged in either instance. Mileage progression shows steady usage, averaging around 7,280 miles annually, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests aligns with the annual MOT cycle, with no unusual spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The recorded mileage at the latest test (80,082) suggests the vehicle has been driven consistently without extended periods of disuse, which could otherwise accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes or brake calipers. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on high-wear items not directly tested by the MOT regime. The suspension—particularly rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for uneven sagging or excessive play, as these are common failure points in this model class. Brake discs and calipers, while not flagged in past tests, should be checked for lateral runout or uneven wear, especially if the vehicle has experienced hard braking or off-road use. Structural integrity, particularly around wheel arches and sills, should also be scrutinised for corrosion, as this model is prone to rust in high-salt regions. Finally, the exhaust system’s integrity should be verified, as catalytic converter failures or leaks are occasionally missed in MOT tests but can lead to drivability issues or emissions failures.
