2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL16 ABK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test conducted on January 2026 at 29,235 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following an initial failure on the same day that was immediately rectified. This suggests the owner is proactive in addressing MOT-related requirements, and the car currently meets all DVSA standards for roadworthiness without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Between December 2022 and December 2023, the car covered only 612 miles, indicating long periods of stationary time or minimal use. The usage increased slightly to 3,603 miles between December 2023 and December 2024, but remains well below the national average for a modern hatchback. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it increases risks associated with age-related rubber perish and brake corrosion due to lack of regular mechanical operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation in low-mileage vehicles. Because the car has sat for extended periods, check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the calipers are not seizing or binding. Inspect the suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Since the MOT record shows no history of structural rust or exhaust corrosion, the chassis likely appears clean, but a visual check of the underbody remains necessary to confirm no hidden moisture damage has occurred during its periods of inactivity.
