2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RJ66 ACO

The 2016 Fiat 500 demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its most recent MOT on 2025-10-25 at 43,851 miles. All tests since 2022-11-01 have passed, with no critical failures or advisories noted. The vehicle’s maintenance pattern shows consistent compliance, though the October 2023 test at 33,182 miles recorded a failure with no defects listed, suggesting a potential administrative anomaly or minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass on 2023-10-23. No recurring mechanical issues are evident in the record. The vehicle’s mileage of 43,851 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 4,385 miles annually, significantly lower than average for its age. This suggests infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which can accelerate corrosion in components like the exhaust system or underbody. A notable jump in mileage occurred between 2022-11-01 (27,029 miles) and 2023-10-23 (33,196 miles), reflecting a 6,167-mile increase in 11 months, followed by gradual annual growth. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, indicating either thorough maintenance or limited diagnostic depth in the recorded tests. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system for rust or leaks, common in low-mileage vehicles left stationary. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, may show age-related wear despite the low mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for uneven wear, as inactivity can cause corrosion. The electrical system and battery, often overlooked in low-mileage vehicles, warrant scrutiny. While the MOT record shows no major issues, the sparse defect data means a physical inspection is essential to confirm the vehicle’s condition beyond the recorded tests.
