2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL16 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 26 January 2026 at 40,656 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes since 2023, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters over the last three years of operation. The mileage pattern is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per annum. Data shows a period of significant inactivity between May 2023 (34,211 miles) and June 2024 (34,325 miles), where only 114 miles were recorded over thirteen months. However, the vehicle covered over 6,300 miles between June 2024 and January 2026, indicating a recent increase in usage. This low overall mileage means the drivetrain and engine components have undergone less mechanical cycles typically associated with high-mileage cars. While the record is largely clean, the low mileage can sometimes mask the age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid systems. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of suspension bushes, tyres, and brake lines, which can perish or seize during periods of standing. The failure on 12 March 2025 at 34,427 miles, followed by a pass just twelve days later, suggests a minor rectifyable issue like a light bulb or a minor adjustment rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Checking the chassis for surface corrosion remains essential to ensure that the low usage has not prevented hidden structural oxidation.
