2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RJ09 HGE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 119,899 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a test failure occurred in September 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass twenty-four hours later at a negligible increase of 21 miles suggests the owner is reactive to maintenance requirements rather than allowing mechanical faults to persist. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent with the vehicle's seventeen-year-age, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and September 2023, the car covered 5,047 miles, while the interval between 2023 and 2024 saw an increase of 1,097 miles. This steady usage suggests low-intensity driving which typically reduces the strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passes implies that the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy environmental corrosion or mechanical neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common structural failure points inherent to this generation of Fiat 500. Despite the clean records, the age of the vehicle necessitates a close check of the sills, floor pans, and rear wheel arches for structural rust. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and brake boots, for cracking or perish, as these can degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Testing the brake system for signs of pitting or seized calipers is also advisable, as long periods of standing can lead to surface rust on the braking hardware.
