2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR13 YME

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 5 February 2026 at 63,962 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive upkeep rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test passed with no defects, the vehicle failed earlier that same day due to an insecure offside front headlamp and both front tyres falling below the legal 1.6mm tread depth limit. This pattern suggests the owner addresses immediate failures to secure a pass but may overlook basic consumable maintenance until a tester flags it. The recorded mileage of 63,962 miles indicates a low-use profile for a 2013 vehicle, averaging approximately 4,920 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental mileage increases between the 2024, 2025, and 2026 tests. The gap between the February 2024 test at 52,300 miles and the January 2025 test at 56,422 miles shows a relatively consistent driving pattern. However, the low annual mileage can sometimes mask issues related to components seizing or rubber parts perishing from lack of movement. A prospective buyer must carefully inspect the rear sub-frame, as the January 2025 test at 56,422 miles flagged corrosion, even though it was not classified as seriously weakened at that time. Corrosion on sub-frames is a progressive issue that requires close physical inspection to ensure it has not worsened. The February 2024 failure involving a worn nearside front suspension arm bush and a nearside rear shock absorber bush indicates that the suspension components have previously reached the end of their service life. The history of suspension bush wear and tyre failures suggests that the vehicle's running gear requires regular monitoring. While the 2026 pass cleared the immediate defects, the previous issues with suspension bushings and sub-frame corrosion are the primary mechanical concerns. A thorough check of the underside for spreading rust and a test drive to listen for knocks from the suspension will be necessary to confirm the vehicle's actual condition.
