2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM65 WGX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-26 at 71,141 miles recorded a pass, but a prior test on 2025-08-26 at 71,140 miles showed a failure with no defects noted. This suggests either a procedural anomaly or a minor issue resolved swiftly. Earlier tests from 2024-09-02 (62,183 miles, pass) and 2024-08-31 (62,172 miles, fail) indicate a recurring pattern of near-identical mileage and outcomes, raising questions about the consistency of testing. The 2023-12-05 test at 58,602 miles was a pass, with no defects. Overall, the maintenance trend shows no clear worsening or improvement, though the lack of defect details limits definitive conclusions. The vehicle’s mileage of 71,141 miles over 11 years equates to an average of 6,467 miles annually, aligning with typical usage. However, a significant jump from 62,183 miles (2024-09-02) to 71,141 miles (2025-08-26) reflects an 8,958-mile increase in 11 months, exceeding the annual average. This rapid accumulation may accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain elements. The sparse defect records across tests do not reveal recurring mechanical issues, but the frequent pass/fail cycles at similar mileages suggest potential inconsistencies in maintenance or testing. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as these often degrade with higher mileage. The brakes, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny given the proximity of failed tests. Structural integrity should also be verified, with attention to rust or corrosion in critical areas. While the latest MOT was a pass, the history implies a need for thorough pre-purchase checks to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical reliability beyond recorded data.
