2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL16 AAZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate following a successful test on February 10, 2026. The maintenance history shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes within the same month. In both February 2025 and February 2026, the car failed the initial test but was re-tested and passed a few days later. This suggests that specific mechanical or safety defects are identified and rectified quickly to meet roadworthiness standards, rather than representing a progressive trend of worsening mechanical neglect. At 58,700 miles, this 10-year-old vehicle has covered an annual average of approximately 5,870 miles. This low-mileage profile often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The record shows consistent annual testing intervals between February 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating the vehicle is used regularly despite the low distance covered between tests. A buyer must verify the specific defects that caused the failures in 2025 and 2026, as the provided data does not list the exact points of failure. Given the low mileage, an inspection should focus on checking for corrosion on the chassis and suspension bushes, which can occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The brake discs should also be examined for pitting or seizing, as low-frequency use often results in surface rust that can affect braking performance. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
