2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL16 ACO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of inconsistency. The most recent MOT test on 29 May 2025 at 73,482 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in June 2024 at 66,399 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has moved into a phase of consistent upkeep after overcoming previous testing issues. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,348 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 55,790 miles in February 2023 to the current 73,482 miles. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is generally positive for preventing seal degradation and fuel system issues. The MOT history reveals a period of instability during the first half of 2023. The vehicle failed in February 2023 at 55,790 miles and again in June 2023 at 58,556 miles before eventually passing. While the specific mechanical reasons for these failures were not detailed in the summary, the repeated failures indicate that the vehicle required corrective maintenance to meet minimum standards during that period. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to check for corrosion, particularly around the rear axle and suspension mounting points, given the vehicle's age. Although recent tests show no defects, the previous failures warrant a close examination of the braking system for any signs of binding calipers or unevenly worn discs. Checking the condition of the suspension bushes and shock absorbers is also advised to ensure the vehicle's recent passing status reflects genuine mechanical health rather than just the absence of immediate failures.
