2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · WN09 SVO

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT pass in January 2025 at 66,268 miles. This result indicates an improvement over the previous year, where the car failed initially due to lighting and tyrerelated issues. While the history shows a pattern of developing component wear, the absence of any advisories in the most recent test suggests that the owner has recently addressed the recurring mechanical defects identified in the earlier inspections. The mileage profile is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 52,926 miles and January 2025 at 66,268 miles, the car covered 13,342 miles. This low usage often explains the delayed wear on the drivetrain and engine but also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, as evidenced by the recurring reports of perished tyres and worn suspension bushes throughout the record. A prospective buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the suspension and exhaust systems. The records from 2022 and 2023 consistently flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and misting shock absorbers, which are common failure points on this model. Additionally, the exhaust system has been noted as corroded since at least 2022; while it passed recently, the structural integrity of the piping should be verified to ensure the corrosion has not progressed. Given the low mileage, also check the condition of the sidewalls for cracking, as the history shows a recurring tendency for dry rot issues.
