2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SA66 AEB

The 2016 Fiat 500 presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 61,928 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding annual tests also returned passes with no advisories. The only blemish is a failed test on 29 September 2023 at 51,584 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass the next day on 30 September 2023 at the same mileage. This suggests an administrative or presentation issue at the first attempt rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent clean pass confirms the vehicle was roadworthy. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car. The record shows 46,302 miles at the 21 September 2022 test, rising to 51,584 by 30 September 2023, then 56,806 on 8 October 2024, and 61,928 on 1 October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,300 to 5,500 miles per year across the documented period, with no rapid jumps or unexplained gaps. The data is sparse but clean, showing no flagged wear on consumables such as tyres, brake discs, or suspension bushes across any entry. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills and subframes, as the MOT record shows no advisories but does not confirm these were examined in depth. The absence of any recorded brake, exhaust emissions, or coil spring concerns implies basic upkeep was maintained, yet the 2023 same-mileage fail-pass pair warrants a check of the DVSA test station notes to rule out a latent binding caliper or documentation error. Given the low annual use, prolonged standing periods may have affected rubber components such as suspension bushes and door seals, which warrant a physical check despite the clean history.
