2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RU60 BEE

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2026-04-08, confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded. This marks the third consecutive annual pass, including the 2025-04-08 test, suggesting a stable maintenance history with no recurring failures. The October 2024 entry is anomalous—showing both a pass and a fail on the same date—though the absence of defects in the preceding and subsequent tests implies this may have been an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or major faults have been logged, which aligns with the vehicle’s low mileage for its age. The recorded mileage of 65,209 miles over approximately 11 years equates to around 5,928 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either minimal usage or prolonged periods of non-operation, which could impact fluid levels, tyre condition, and minor wear items like suspension bushes. The most notable gap in testing is between the 2023-10-09 pass and the 2024-10-17 tests, a span of nearly 12 months where no MOT was recorded. While this does not necessarily indicate neglect, it raises a question about whether the vehicle was actively driven or stored during that period. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—due to the vehicle’s age and low mileage, which may mask gradual deterioration. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, warrant close examination for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Corrosion should be checked at wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, as rust can develop even with low mileage if the car has been exposed to moisture. Finally, fluid levels—brake, power steering, and coolant—should be verified, as they may have degraded over the untested period between 2023 and 2024.
