2011 Fiat 500 C 0.9L Petrol · SW11 HGA

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently questionable following a failure in the most recent test on October 13, 2025, at 103,523 miles. While the car maintained a remarkably stable history with four consecutive passes and no recorded defects or advisories between 2021 and 2024, the sudden failure indicates a mechanical or structural issue that has not been addressed. Because the record shows no defects listed for that specific failure, the vehicle is technically not roadworthy until a re-test confirms the repairs. The mileage pattern is consistent with a well-used vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,900 miles per year. Between October 2021 at 70,713 miles and October 2024 at 93,778 miles, the car covered over 23,000 miles, representing a steady usage profile. This regularity is positive as it suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which often helps prevent brake corrosion and fuel degradation. However, the jump to over 103k miles since the final pass suggests a recent decline in maintenance or a specific component failure. A buyer must verify the specific reason for the 2025 failure before proceeding. Given the previous clean record of advisories, the failure likely relates to a component that reached the end of its service life suddenly, such as a coil spring, suspension bush, or an exhaust leak. The physical inspection should focus on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Fiat 500 models of this era are notorious for hidden rust that may have finally appeared despite a previously clean MOT history.
