2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WP62 NGF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing structural and exhaust issues. While it passed the latest test in July 2025 at 85,274 miles, it introduced multiple advisories related to the rear suspension and exhaust system. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2022 and 2024, indicating that the vehicle is now beginning to show age-related corrosion on mounting points. At 85,274 miles over fourteen years, the car has averaged approximately 6,100 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage patterns. The' data shows a steady progression, with roughly 5,400 miles covered between June 2023 and July 2024, and another 4,300 miles in the final year. However, the failure in July 2024 at 80,933 miles due to front tyres being below legal limits suggests a period where basic consumable maintenance was neglected prior to the inspection. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension assembly. The July 2025 test flagged corrosion on both nearside and offside rear coil springs, as well as the lower mounting areas. While the tester did not consider the corrosion excessive, rust on structural mounting points often spreads and leads to failure or expensive way repairs if left untreated. The exhaust system also requires attention, as the history shows a worn flexi-section in 2023 and a new minor leak at the nearside rear as of the most recent test.
