2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM13 HKB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT on 16 June 2026 at 60,834 miles without any defects. The maintenance history shows an improving trend following a period of reactive repairs in the previous years. While the 2024 and 2025 tests revealed significant structural and component failures, the most recent result indicates the owner addressed these critical faults to bring the car back to test standards. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,834 represents an average of approximately 4,680 miles per year. This low usage profile often leads to less mechanical engine wear but can accelerate the degradation of rubber components due to age. The data shows consistent annual mileage accumulation, with roughly 1,200 miles covered between June 2024 and 2025, and another 1,131 miles in the final year. This suggests the vehicle is used primarily for short-distance local trips. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear assembly for further corrosion. The June 2025 failure was specifically due to a corroded and seriously weakened nearside rear suspension arm and a trailing axle spring cup holder. Although this has passed since, the presence of serious structural rust on a load-bearing component in a low-mileage car indicates environmental damage that requires ongoing monitoring. The offside lower suspension arm ball joint, which failed in June 2024, should also be checked for play or premature wear. The tyres require attention regarding their age. The 2025 test flagged perishing and slight cracking on both front tyres, which is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods. While the front exhaust bracket issue from 2024 was resolved, the buyer should verify the exhaust system remains secure and no new rattles have developed. Overall, the vehicle shows a history of suspension issues that are currently compliant with safety standards.
