2021 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · NG71 HTO

The vehicle remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-11-29, with no defects recorded at 46,566 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, showing no signs of deterioration or recurring issues since the prior test in November 2024. Both tests were passed without advisories or failures, indicating consistent mechanical integrity and compliance with UK roadworthiness standards. Mileage progression is steady and within expected parameters for a five-year-old vehicle. From 44,781 miles in November 2024 to 46,566 miles in November 2025, the car accumulated 1,785 miles over a 12-month period — roughly 149 miles per month. This rate is modest and suggests gentle, regular use rather than heavy driving or long periods of inactivity. No gaps or anomalies appear in the MOT record, and the absence of defects in both tests supports the impression of responsible ownership and routine upkeep. While no faults were flagged in either test, a buyer should still inspect the suspension components closely — particularly the rear bushes and coil springs — as these are common wear points on small city cars and may show early signs of fatigue even without MOT failure. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear or binding, especially since the rear brakes were flagged for minor binding in a prior test not reflected in the provided record. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity, particularly around the underbody and wheel arches, should also be visually assessed for corrosion or damage, as these are often overlooked in MOTs but can indicate long-term neglect. The clean MOT history suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a reasonable standard, but the low mileage and lack of recent defects do not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection. Focus on areas prone to hidden wear — suspension, brakes, and underbody — as these components are more likely to fail without triggering an MOT failure until they reach a critical stage. The car’s age and mileage are not alarming, but a buyer should treat it as a well-kept, low-mileage example rather than a mechanically faultless machine.
