2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR12 XFP

The 2012 Fiat 500 presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 2 December 2025 at 68,202 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the vehicle cleared the 12 December 2024 examination at 54,813 miles and the 11 December 2023 examination at 44,191 miles, both also with clean passes. The two failure entries logged on the same dates as the passes in 2023 and 2024 carry no recorded defects, indicating administrative rejections or aborted tests rather than mechanical faults. The ownership pattern shows consistent annual compliance with no advisories or worn consumables flagged across the three years of data. Recorded mileage sits at 68,202 against an approximate 14-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,872 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its age. The odometer advanced 10,622 miles between the December 2023 and December 2024 tests, then 13,389 miles to the December 2025 test, reflecting steady rather than sporadic accumulation. No standing gaps appear in the sequence; the sparse three-year record shows no corrosion, suspension bush, coil spring, or brake disc concerns raised by any tester. Low annual mileage coupled with clean histories suggests the previous keepers maintained basic statutory testing but the short dataset limits deeper wear inference on drivetrain or structural integrity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension arms, subframe mounting points, and sills for hidden corrosion given the vehicle's 2012 build year and winter road salt exposure unrecorded in MOT data. The brake calipers and flexible hoses warrant hand-checking for binding or perishing despite no advisory history. Verify the 2023 and 2024 same-day fail-versus-pass anomalies with the test centre to confirm no suppressed defect category existed. Tyre sidewall dates and wiper blade condition remain unmentioned in the record and should be visually confirmed. The clean trail implies no recurring mechanical trend, yet low mileage can mask seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage between the annual runs.
