2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RO18 ETL

The vehicle maintains a clean and stable roadworthiness record, having passed its most recent MOT on 30 March 2026 at 21,238 miles without any major mechanical failures. The current status reflects a well-preserved condition, as the tester noted only minor cosmetic issues such as a slightly deteriorated rear registration plate and a child seat obstruction. This consistent performance across the last five years indicates that the vehicle has been subjected to minimal mechanical stress and has not developed recurring structural or safety-critical defects. The recorded mileage of 21,238 miles over an eight-year lifespan averages approximately 2,655 miles per year, which is significantly lower than the national average. Annual testing shows a steady, incremental usage pattern, with the vehicle covering roughly 1,100 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This low-mileage profile suggests the car has likely been used for short, local journeys rather than sustained motorway driving. While low mileage often preserves drivetrain components, it can sometimes lead to premature corrosion or seized brake components if the vehicle sits idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of the brake discs and calipers, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from surface corrosion on these parts due to infrequent use. Inspect the underside of the chassis for any signs of surface rust, particularly around the suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, which may not have reached full operating temperatures regularly. Given the clean history, the primary concern remains the age of consumable items like tyres and rubber suspension bushes, which may have hardened or perished despite the low mileage. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking and ensure the braking system operates smoothly during a test drive to confirm that the calipers are not binding.
