2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM65 WKR

The 2015 Fiat 500 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over its MOT history, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests spanning 2023 to 2026. The most recent inspection on 2026-02-16, at 66,270 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK standards. While the 2024 test cycle included a minor anomaly—a failed test on 2024-05-25 at 61,080 miles without recorded defects—this was resolved by the subsequent passing test just six days later, suggesting either a procedural oversight or a brief administrative hold rather than a mechanical issue. The absence of recurring advisories or defects across multiple tests indicates the vehicle has not experienced persistent failures in critical systems. The recorded mileage of 66,270 miles over approximately 11 years aligns with typical usage patterns for this age, averaging around 6,000 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt spikes in mileage that would raise concern—each test interval spans roughly 12 months, with the most recent test occurring just five months ago. The consistency in mileage accumulation suggests the vehicle has been driven regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity, which could otherwise accelerate wear in components like suspension bushes or fuel system seals. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear areas that are not directly tested by the MOT but critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension, particularly the condition of coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are prone to fatigue over 11 years and 66,000 miles. The brakes, while not flagged in MOTs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid acceleration or heavy loads. Structural integrity is another key area—inspect the sills, wheel arches, and underbody for corrosion, as rust can compromise the chassis over time. Lastly, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly around joints and hangers, as leaks or damage are not always detectable without a closer examination.
