2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RA18 XJB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test in January 2026 at 19,246 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet all regulatory requirements. This stable trend persists across the last four years, as the car has avoided any recorded failures or advisories throughout its documented MOT history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between February 2022 and November 2022, where the car covered only 482 miles in nine months. Since the January 2024 test at 8,531 miles, the usage has increased steadily, adding 10,715 miles over two years. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it also raises the risk of component degradation associated with vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a physical inspection should focus on issues common to low-mileage cars. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking caused by age rather than tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from cleaning the rotors. Additionally, examine the rubber bushes in the suspension and the boots for cracking, as these materials can perish over time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
