2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL16 ADO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean MOT pass in February 2026 at 63,053 miles. This recent test recorded no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in September 2024, the immediate pass just nine days later suggests the owner was proactive in rectifying faults to get the vehicle back on the road, rather than allowing a trend of mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-mid range annual use, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the May 2022 test at 41,015 miles and the 2023 test at 52,174 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in just thirteen months. However, usage has since returned to a more relaxed pace. This lower overall mileage generally means less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to dry-rotted components if the vehicle sits for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the September 2024 failure, although the record does not specify the exact reason for that lapse. Given the age of the Fiat 500, a close look for structural corrosion on the sills and rear arches is essential, as these are common weak points for this model. Also inspect the suspension bushes for tearing and check the brake calipers for seizing, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust on discs if not used frequently.
