2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SF16 PDS

The 2016 FIAT 500 is presently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 3 October 2025 at 35,255 miles with no recorded defects. The pattern across the six‑year record shows a stable trend; earlier minor observations have not escalated into recurring failures, and the latest test confirms the vehicle remains within legal limits. Mileage averages roughly 3,500 miles per year, markedly low for a decade‑old car. Between 20 September 2024 (25,061 miles) and 3 October 2025 the odometer rose by 10,194 miles, suggesting a period of increased use, yet the overall accumulation remains modest. Earlier intervals—2023‑2024 and 2022‑2023—show increments of under 2,000 miles, indicating consistent, light duty rather than prolonged storage. The MOT history flags off‑side front shock absorber oil mist and wear on the lower suspension arm pin or bush in the 2024 test; these items merit a visual and functional check for any fluid leakage or excessive play in the front suspension. Edge‑wear on both front tyres recorded in the 2023 test calls for inspection of tyre condition and alignment, while the altered headlight adjuster suggests the need to verify headlamp aim and reflector integrity. A thorough examination of brake discs, pads, and calipers, as well as a cursory rust survey of the chassis, will confirm that no latent structural issues have developed since the last pass.
