AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on January 19 2026, passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car met all minimum safety and environmental requirements. While a failure occurred in early February 2025, the immediate pass just five days later suggests the issue was a minor component failure that was rectified quickly rather than a sign of deep-seated neglect. The mileage data reveals consistent but low usage over the last three years. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 1,137 miles, followed by an additional 1,482 miles between February 2024 and February 2025. The recorded mileage of 117,098 miles on a 2008 model is significantly below the national average for its age, though the low annual mileage may subject the vehicle to dry wear on rubber and plastics rather than high-frequency mechanical stress. Given the clean records in the recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on age-related degradation rather than mileage. Fiat 500s of this era are prone to corrosion in the rear sills, floor pans, and suspension mounting points, which should be checked for structural integrity. The buyer should also inspect for perished suspension bushes and binding brake calipers, as low-mileage usage often leads to seized components and uneven tyre wear that do not always trigger a standard MOT failure.
