2016 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · WF66 AED

The 2016 Fiat 500 passed its most recent MOT on 21 August 2025 at 69,629 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history reads as stable with no mechanical or structural advisories raised. The record shows two failed tests on the same dates as passes, both at 61,513 miles on 22 August 2024 and at 69,629 miles on 21 August 2025, yet the DVSA data lists no defects for either failure. This pattern points to administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a worsening roadworthiness condition, since the car then cleared on the same day without rectification. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a ten-year-old car, with 51,789 miles recorded on 15 August 2023, rising to 61,513 miles by 22 August 2024 and 69,629 miles by 21 August 2025. That equates to roughly 9,700 miles in the first interval and 8,100 in the second, close to the 6,963 per-year average and showing no sudden accumulation or long stationary gaps. The clean advisory columns across all three years suggest either light urban use or a previous owner addressing wear before each test, though the sparse record gives limited insight into consumable replacement habits. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the Fiat 500's known susceptibility to front lower arm wear and rear trailing arm corrosion at this age. The absence of recorded advisories does not confirm structural integrity beneath the sills or subframes, and the twin fail-pass entries on identical dates warrant a check of the V5C and test certificate to confirm no omitted defect data. Pre-purchase checks should also cover exhaust emissions against the 1.2-litre petrol specification and tyre tread depth across all four corners, since the record offers no evidence of recent replacement. The vehicle presents as fundamentally sound on paper, but the unexplained same-day failures mean the buyer must verify the true test outcome before completion.
