2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SW12 ADX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent testing history. The most recent MOT conducted on 22 December 2025 at 62,773 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure just two miles prior on the same day. This immediate rectification likely represents an administrative error or a minor component that was replaced instantly rather than a systemic mechanical failure, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record across the last four annual tests. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. Between November 2022 at 43,684 miles and January 2025 at 58,838 miles, the car covered over 15,000 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. The subsequent drop of only 3,935 miles between January 2025 and December 2025 suggests the car is currently being used sparingly, which can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion from lack of movement. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas associated with low-mileage vehicles. Check the brake discs for surface pitting and seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents the pads from clearing rust off the metal effectively. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as age-related decay occurs regardless of the distance driven. Additionally, verify the chassis for hidden structural rust, particularly around the sills and wheel arches, which these models are prone to over a decade even with low mileage.
