2011 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM11 ACZ

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record as of the most recent test on 1 April 2025 at 58,091 miles. The absence of advisories or defects in the last two years suggests a consistent standard of upkeep. While the vehicle recorded a failure on 30 March 2024 at 55,634 miles, it passed immediately upon retest on the same day, indicating that the issue was a minor, non-recurring fault rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,873 miles per year. The data shows a steady, predictable progression from 49,715 miles in February 2022 to 58,091 miles in April 2025. This low annual mileage suggests the car has seen light usage, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low usage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids due to extended periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on age-related deterioration that MOT testing might not fully capture. Given the low mileage, I recommend checking the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and various rubber mounts to ensure they have not perished from sitting idle. The lack of recorded brake or exhaust issues is encouraging, but a technician should still inspect the brake discs for pitting and the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and subframes.
