2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RF68 DZR

The 2018 FIAT 500 presents a clean and stable maintenance trend across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 10 July 2025 at 40,789 miles passed with zero defects recorded, a result consistent with every preceding annual test dating back to June 2022. No advisories, failures, or recurring mechanical concerns appear anywhere in the record, indicating the vehicle has remained in consistently sound roadworthy condition under its current and recent ownership. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of low and steady use. Covering just 20,595 miles over the four-year span from the June 2022 test at 20,194 miles to the July 2025 test at 40,789 miles, the car has averaged roughly 5,150 miles per year. The increments between tests are remarkably consistent: 7,408 miles between 2022 and 2023, 7,002 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 6,185 miles between 2024 and 2025. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would suggest long periods of disuse or odometer irregularities. This is a vehicle driven gently and regularly. Despite the clean paper record, a buyer should still conduct a thorough physical inspection. The FIAT 500's compact platform is prone to corrosion on inner wheel arches, sills, and subframes, particularly if the car has spent time standing or used on salted roads. Suspension components, including front lower arm bushes and rear beam bushings, should be checked for deterioration given the car is now eight years old. Tyre condition and age deserve attention too, as the low annual mileage means rubber may have aged past its safe service life before tread wears down. Brake discs and pads should be inspected for surface corrosion, a common issue on lightly used vehicles where components do not get regular thermal cycling to keep them clean. The clean MOT record is genuinely encouraging and suggests attentive ownership. Low-mileage city cars like this one carry their own specific risks around corrosion and component ageing that a paper trail alone cannot fully reveal. A short test drive over varied road surfaces, combined with a visual inspection on a ramp, will confirm whether the physical condition matches the documentary record.
