2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · VIW 288

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean testing record over the last three years. Following the most recent test in October 2025 at 85,588 miles, the car passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and structural components currently meet the minimum legal standard. The trend of clean passes since the 2022 failure suggests the current owner has addressed any necessary maintenance to prevent recurring faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with low-to-moderate urban use, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 5,625 miles, showing a steady rate of operation. A notable gap exists between October 2022 and October 2023, where the car covered only 4,001 miles, which may indicate a period of reduced usage. This low annual mileage figure generally reduces the wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. While the MOT history is currently clean, a buyer should perform a physical inspection of common Fiat 500 failure points. Given the vehicle's age, check the sills for structural corrosion and the wheel arches for rust, as MOT tests only flag corrosion once it becomes structurally significant. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking, as rubber components degrade over time regardless of the low mileage. Since the record shows no recent brake issues, verify that the calipers are not binding and the brake discs are not excessively pitted or thinned.
