2012 Fiat 500 C 0.9L Petrol · SW12 AEB

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with no defects recorded in the last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-09-25 inspection at 72,562 miles. The absence of failures or advisories in this period suggests consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. However, the 2024-04-11 test recorded a failure with no defects listed, which may indicate a data anomaly or a minor issue resolved before the subsequent pass. Overall, the vehicle shows no signs of deterioration in its mechanical or structural systems based on the provided records. The mileage of 72,562 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 5,183 miles annually, significantly below the typical usage for this age. A notable gap between 2023-03-17 (62,364 miles) and 2024-04-11 (64,987 miles) reflects a 13-month period with minimal usage, raising potential concerns about long-term storage effects. The subsequent gradual increase to 72,562 miles by 2025-09-25 suggests intermittent use, which could affect components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers if not regularly exercised. The MOT history lacks recurring defects, but the low mileage pattern warrants closer inspection of corrosion and fluid degradation. A buyer should prioritise checking for rust in the underbody and chassis, particularly around wheel arches and sills, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant fluids. Suspension components, including shock absorbers and wishbones, should be assessed for stiffness or uneven wear, as infrequent use can lead to binding or premature failure. Brake discs and calipers should be inspected for corrosion or uneven contact, while the exhaust system’s integrity and emission control devices require verification. No major structural issues are indicated, but the vehicle’s maintenance history does not confirm active care beyond MOT compliance.
