2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SC16 HJX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on April 24, 2025 at 34,794 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently achieves clean passes following minor rectifications. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025, the immediate subsequent passes indicate that the owner addressed identified defects promptly rather than allowing cumulative mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles annually. There is a significant jump in usage between April 2023 at 24,381 miles and April 2024 at 32,804 miles, where the car covered over 8,000 miles in one year. This irregular usage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and brake components due to corrosion during periods of inactivity. Because the MOT history does not list specific mechanical reasons for the failures in 2023 and 2025, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection of components prone to low-mileage neglect. Focus on the brake discs for pitting or seized calipers, and inspect the suspension bushes for cracking which occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Additionally, check the structural integrity of the sills and wheel arches, as low mileage does not protect the chassis from environmental corrosion over a decade.
