2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SC16 HHY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in February 2026 with 69,630 miles and no recorded defects. The overall maintenance trend shows signs of improvement regarding fluid integrity. While previous tests identified oil-related issues, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests that the previously corroded sump and leak noted in February 2025 may have been addressed or the leak has stabilized since the last test. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between February 2022 and February 2025, the car covered 7,834 miles, indicating steady and relatively light use. The interval of 1,546 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests is short. This low annual mileage generally reduces the wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain and suspension bushings compared to high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the engine bay and undercarriage to verify the oil system. The 2022 test flagged a front oil leak and the 2025 test highlighted a corroded sump, so a close look for fresh weeping or oily residue around the oil pan is essential. Given the age of the Fiat, the inspector should also check rubber components and hoses for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often age more than mechanical wear dictates.
