2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RX19 OFB

The 2019 FIAT 500 presents a stable and improving mechanical picture based on its MOT record, culminating in a clean pass on 24 February 2026 at 60,652 miles with zero defects. The most recent failure, logged just the previous day at 60,651 miles, was confined entirely to three tyres worn below the 1.6mm legal minimum. This pattern indicates the vehicle was presented for retest with the tyre issue promptly resolved, suggesting the previous owner addressed the defect rather than deferring it. No recurring structural, braking, or suspension faults appear across the five-year record. The mileage accumulation of roughly 8,665 miles per year sits squarely within typical use for a city-focused supermini of this age. The interval between the January 2025 test at 48,204 miles and the February 2026 test at 60,652 miles shows an acceleration to approximately 12,448 miles over thirteen months, up from the longer-term average. This uptick points to a change in usage pattern, likely a new owner or a shift to more regular commuting. The record itself is clean and well-documented, with no gaps or missing annual tests, which supports consistent ownership and servicing. The only mechanical advisory worth noting occurred in January 2025, when the tester flagged front brake discs worn, pitted, or scored but not seriously weakened. That advisory did not recur in the 2026 test, implying the discs were either replaced or remained within acceptable tolerances. A prospective buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person, checking for lipping, scoring, and uneven wear, as well as confirming the condition of the rear brake setup, which has no recorded history of inspection. The tyre failure in February 2026 raises a minor flag about ongoing upkeep. Failing on three tyres in a single test suggests basic tread-depth checks were neglected between services. A buyer should examine all four tyres for uneven wear patterns that could point to tracking or suspension issues, and verify the age of the rubber, as a 2019 vehicle may still be running original tyres approaching the recommended five-to-six-year replacement window.
