2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SC68 ABK

The most recent MOT test on December 20, 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 44,623 miles. The absence of advisories or failures across the last five annual tests suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the duplicate entry for December 10, 2024—a failed test followed immediately by a pass—indicates either a retest or a minor oversight in the initial inspection. No recurring faults have been documented, which is unusual given the vehicle’s age, as even well-maintained Fiats typically exhibit minor wear in suspension bushes, brake pads, or corrosion by this mileage. The lack of advisories implies either diligent servicing or that issues were addressed privately before testing. The mileage progression of roughly 6,375 miles annually aligns with typical usage for a seven-year-old vehicle, though the gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests—spanning 4,442 miles in just over a year—could signal a period of heavier use or a temporary increase in mileage. The consistency thereafter suggests normal driving patterns, with no evidence of prolonged storage or neglect. The most notable anomaly is the identical mileage for the 2024 retest, which may indicate the vehicle was not driven between tests, a practice that could accelerate wear in fluids or tyres if not properly maintained during inactivity. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of suspension components—particularly the rear subframe and bushings, which are common failure points on this model—alongside brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear. The absence of corrosion advisories in prior tests does not preclude hidden rust in wheel arches, sills, or the subframe, areas that often develop issues between MOT cycles. Tyre condition should also be scrutinised, as the lack of tread-related failures could mask uneven wear or low tread depth. Finally, verify the service history for fluid changes, as synthetic oils and brake fluids degrade over time and are not always flagged in MOTs. The vehicle’s roadworthiness is currently sound, but these areas warrant close examination to confirm long-term reliability.
