2016 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · WR16 FEP

The vehicle presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded on any test, including the most recent pass in March 2026 at 55,842 miles. The maintenance trend is stable and shows no signs of deterioration. This is a positive indicator of consistent upkeep, though the single failure in March 2024 at 47,252 miles with no defects recorded is unusual and may reflect a clerical error or a minor issue resolved before the pass the same day. The recorded annual average of roughly 5,584 miles is low for a ten-year-old car. The mileage progression from 42,519 miles in March 2023 to 55,842 miles in March 2026 indicates steady, moderate use without any suspicious gaps or spikes. This pattern suggests the car was likely used for short daily commutes rather than long-distance journeys, which can lead to specific wear patterns. Despite the clean MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on components prone to wear on this model. Check the rear suspension coil springs for fractures, a known issue on the Fiat 500. Inspect brake discs and pads for uneven wear or binding, as low mileage can lead to corrosion from infrequent hard braking. Also examine the underside for structural corrosion, particularly around the subframe and sills. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks, and the battery condition verified, as short trips may have prevented full charging.
