2008 Fiat 500 1.4L Petrol · SH08 YNA

The Fiat 500's most recent MOT test on June 18, 2025, at 99,673 miles resulted in a failure, despite no defects being recorded. This suggests a procedural or administrative issue rather than a mechanical problem. The previous test on February 23, 2024, at 94,575 miles also passed without defects, indicating stable maintenance up to that point. The two failures in 2025 may warrant further investigation, though the record does not provide mechanical details. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring defects to suggest worsening or improving conditions. The vehicle's mileage pattern is unusually low for its age. Between the 2024 and 2025 tests, the mileage increased by just 5,098 miles over 15 months, averaging 339 miles per month. This suggests either very light use or long periods of inactivity. The last two tests in 2025 were conducted just 27 days apart, with only 37 miles added, further indicating minimal use. The sparse and clean MOT history, with no recurring defects, reflects this low-mileage pattern. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's suspension and steering components, as the low mileage may have delayed wear on bushings, ball joints, and tie rods. The brakes should also be thoroughly checked, as the vehicle's age and low mileage could mean the discs and pads are nearing their service life. Additionally, the vehicle's structural integrity should be assessed for signs of corrosion, particularly in the undercarriage and wheel arches. Given the low mileage, the engine and transmission may show less wear, but the buyer should still verify the condition of the timing belt and other critical consumables.
