2011 Fiat 500C 0.9L Petrol · WJ11 RYV

The Fiat 500C presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 June 2025 at 83,885 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing its final test cleanly after two earlier failures that themselves recorded no defects. This pattern indicates administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decay. Recorded mileage sits at 83,885 against a 2011 build, averaging roughly 5,592 miles per year. The DVSA data shows light annual use: 77,344 miles in May 2023, 80,399 in May 2024, and 83,799 by May 2025. Low accumulation suggests gentle running or periods of storage, though standing time can conceal perished rubber components and corrosion. The history is sparse, with only passes and two defect-free failures across three years. The two failures on 9 May 2024 and 13 May 2025 both listed no defects, implying the car was presented without a valid prior certificate or failed on documentation rather than wear. A buyer should still verify suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for age-related fatigue, and inspect exhaust emissions and structural integrity for rust given the low but ageing profile. Confirm in person that the 2025 failure left no latent advisories on tyres, wiper blades, or binding calipers. The clean record offers reassurance, yet a 15-year-old convertible demands scrutiny of hood mechanism and chassis corrosion points the MOT may not detail.
