2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · TE05 AMY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 5 2026 at 87,124 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently meets the minimum standard following immediate repairs. While the record shows a pattern of initial failures followed by passes on the same day, this suggests the owner is proactive in addressing defects once they are flagged by the tester, rather than allowing faults to persist over multiple testing cycles. The mileage profile is consistent with a thirteen-year-old city car, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the vehicle covered 5,437 miles, while it clocked 10,532 miles in the thirteen months leading up to the most March 2026 test. This recent spike in usage indicates a higher frequency of operation, which may accelerate wear on consumable components like tyres and brake pads. The overall low mileage suggests the engine has not suffered from the degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific components that caused the failures in February 2025 and March 2026, although the provided data does not specify the exact mechanical faults. Given the age and model of this Fiat 500, it is vital to check for corrosion on the rear sills and suspension mounting points where rust is common on this chassis. Additionally, inspect the suspension bushes and linkage for signs of play, as the recent increase in mileage puts greater stress on the drivetrain and braking systems.
