2011 Fiat 500 C 0.9L Petrol · PX61 WEO

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 with no defects recorded at 81 819 miles, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend is stable to improving; the failures logged in September 2023 (exhaust lambda, headlamp aim, rear tyre) and September 2022 (exhaust leak, lambda) have been resolved, and the latest test only carries the minor advisories from August 2025 (front suspension arm pins/bushes worn, exhaust minor leak). Mileage accumulates at roughly 5 455 miles per year, a low figure for a 15‑year‑old car. The interval between the August 2025 test (81 317 miles) and the January 2026 test (81 819 miles) added only 502 miles, indicating limited use. The record shows a consistent annual testing pattern up to 2025, with a recent January test that keeps the data current. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for wear, as advisories were logged in August 2025. The exhaust system warrants close examination; a minor leak persisted into 2025 and earlier lambda failures suggest possible exhaust integrity issues. The rear axle and spring seats displayed corrosion in September 2021; rust progression should be checked visually. The offside rear tyre was damaged in September 2023; tread depth and sidewall condition need verification. Finally, headlamp aim and rear direction indicator colour should be confirmed, as these were previously out of specification. Check that the engine covers and under trays fitted in September 2024 do not hide any components, and examine the brake discs and calipers for binding or uneven wear, even though not recorded. A visual inspection of the rear axle for ongoing corrosion and the exhaust for leaks will provide confidence in long‑term reliability.
