MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

27 MOT tests are recorded for this 2008 Fiat 500 (SB08 GYX) between August 2011 and July 2026.

The record contains 15 passes and 12 failures.

The most recent test on 31 July 2026 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 12 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (38 issues), Brakes (24 issues), Tyres (17 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (17 issues), Lighting (17 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 121 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust Lambda reading after 2nd fast idle outside specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c))”; “Offside Outer Seat belt anchorage prescribed area strength or continuity significantly reduced sill (7.1.1 (a) (i))”; “Nearside Front Macpherson strut top bush or bearing has excessive wear or free play (5.3.4 (a) (i))”.
