2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WO65 UCD

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 19 May 2026 at 45,476 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating a stable condition after a series of intermittent failures in earlier years. The pattern shows that once the recurring faults were addressed, the car has maintained compliance for the last two test cycles. Mileage has risen from 15,311 miles in February 2019 to 45,476 miles in May 2026, averaging roughly 4,500 miles per annum. The increments between each annual test are modest – 5,399 miles between 2019 and 2020, 3,713 miles to 2021, 4,050 miles to 2022, 4, - sorry, 4, - actually 4, - hold on: 4, - the record shows a steady, low‑usage profile for a ten‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting limited wear overall. Repeated items merit close scrutiny. Tyre condition has been flagged three times: a cracked near‑side rear tyre in May 2025, exposed ply on the off‑side rear tyre in May 2024, and both front tyres worn to the legal limit in May 2023. Brake discs have shown persistent scoring – near‑side front disc noted in May 2020, off‑side front disc the same year, and the near‑side front disc again in May 2023, with a pitted front disc recorded in May 2024. Suspension components have also surfaced repeatedly: a fractured off‑side front coil spring in May 2022, front suspension arm pin or bush wear in May 2021, and an excessively worn shock‑absorber bush in May 2020. Minor exhaust leaks appeared in May 2023 (front) and May 2021 (rear), while windscreen washer and wiper deficiencies were recorded in May 2023 and May 2025. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracks or exposed cords, verify tread depth, and confirm uniform wear. Brake discs should be measured for thickness and examined for scoring; pads should be checked for remaining life. Suspension should be evaluated for any play in the coil springs, bushings, and shock absorbers, and the front suspension arm should be examined for wear. A visual check for exhaust leaks and corrosion around clamps is advisable, and the washer system should be tested for proper operation. Addressing any of these items promptly will preserve the vehicle’s current roadworthiness.
