2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OY16 URB

The 2016 FIAT 500 presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile, culminating in a clean pass on 21 May 2026 at 86,977 miles with zero defects recorded. That result followed a failure just one day earlier on 20 May 2026, also at 86,977 miles, where the tester flagged an offside rear tyre below the 1.6mm legal minimum and a nearside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge. The immediate re-test pass confirms the tyres were replaced promptly, indicating responsive rather than neglectful ownership. Across the five-year span from June 2023 through May 2026, every test returned a clean result aside from that single tyre-related failure, pointing to a consistent maintenance trend with no recurring mechanical or structural defects. The mileage accumulation of 86,977 miles over roughly ten years equates to approximately 8,700 miles per year, which sits squarely within the typical annual range for a city-oriented supermini. The progression from 60,416 miles in June 2023 to 69,011 miles in June 2024, then to 78,764 miles in June 2025, and finally to 86,977 miles in May 2026 shows a steady and predictable increase of roughly 8,500 to 9,700 miles per year with no anomalous gaps or sudden spikes. There are no extended periods of dormancy in the record, and the annual testing cadence has been maintained without interruption. The sole defect category appearing across the entire history is tyre wear, specifically rear tyre tread depth. The nearside rear tyre worn on edge in May 2026 suggests possible alignment or suspension geometry unevenness, though the clean pass the following day with new tyres means the underlying cause was not severe enough to generate a formal advisory. A prospective buyer should still inspect the rear suspension for worn bushes, damaged bump stops, or misalignment that could cause uneven tyre wear over time. Given the vehicle's age and typical urban use, a thorough underbody inspection for corrosion on the sills, subframes, and brake lines remains prudent, even though the MOT record itself contains no structural or corrosion-related entries. The brake system, exhaust, and steering components have not featured in any recorded defects, which is a positive indicator, but a test drive over varied road surfaces will confirm whether any emerging issues exist outside the scope of the MOT's periodic snapshot.
