2013 Fiat 500 L 1.6L Diesel · WR13 HFS

The 2013 Fiat 500 L presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 81,361 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from December 2022 through December 2024 also passed clean. The only blemish is a failure on 14 December 2023 at 63,679 miles, reversed one week later on 21 December at 63,680 miles with no defects listed, which points to an administrative or minor rectification rather than a serious mechanical fault. Recorded mileage sits at 81,361 against an age of roughly thirteen years, equating to about 6,259 miles per year and reflecting typical use for this vehicle class. The odometer moved from 55,790 in December 2022 to 63,680 by December 2023, then 71,911 in December 2024 and 81,361 in December 2025, showing steady annual accumulation near 8,000 to 9,500 miles with no dormant periods or sudden spikes. The DVSA history is sparse on advisories, which suggests the previous keeper kept consumables and core systems within test limits but leaves no documented insight into component condition between tests. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and the unseen wear between clean MOTs. The December 2023 fail with no defects logged warrants confirmation that no suppressed advisory such as corrosion or exhaust emissions issue was overlooked at the retest. Given the lack of recorded structural or mechanical flags across five tests, serious risk appears low, but pre-purchase checks on underbody integrity and binding calipers remain prudent on a thirteen-year-old hatchback.
