2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SW62 FGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 22 December 2025 with 64,927 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has actively addressed defects immediately following failures. While the car failed just one mile prior to that pass for a nearside windscreen wiper and incorrect headlamp aim, these issues were rectified to achieve a clean certificate. This suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than neglect of basic safety-critical components. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,927 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 4,500 miles driven between January 2024 and January 2025, and another 2,480 miles in the eleven months leading to the December 2025 test. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it increases the likelihood of rubber component degradation and corrosion due to longer periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension assembly. The January 2024 failure flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush, and the January 2025 test noted a corroded nearside front coil spring. These indicators suggest that the suspension components on this Fiat are prone to wear or structural fatigue. A physical inspection of the nearside rear exhaust is also warranted to ensure the minor leak reported in 2024 was fully repaired and has not developed into a significant perforation of the pipe system.
