2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SD13 FTA

The 2013 Fiat 500 presents a clean roadworthiness profile as of its most recent test on 12 August 2025 at 73,567 miles, where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable, showing no recurring advisories or mechanical faults. A prior failure on the same date at identical mileage, alongside a failure on 7 August 2023 at 67,187 miles with no defects logged, points to administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than any deterioration in the car's condition. Annual mileage sits low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,659 miles per year against the recorded 73,567 miles. The records show steady, light use: 67,191 miles on 10 August 2023, 70,393 miles on 8 August 2024, and 73,567 miles on 12 August 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the data, and the clean pass sheets across three successive years indicate the previous owner kept the car to a basic but consistent standard with no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension, or structure. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of age-related items the MOT does not deeply probe. Low mileage combined with a 2013 build means rubber suspension bushes, door and sill corrosion, and exhaust hangers may have degraded through time rather than use. The twin 2025 and 2023 failures with zero defects suggest the DVSA entries were clerical; verify the V5C and test certificate to confirm no suppressed rectification work. Given the absence of advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or emissions, the mechanical risk is low, but stand the car on a ramp to check subframe rust and check the cambelt interval for the engine variant. The record implies careful, low-load ownership, yet thirteen years will test seals and perishable components regardless of miles covered.
