2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR16 LDV

The vehicle demonstrates consistent roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five consecutive MOT tests, the most recent of which was conducted on 2026-03-24 at 27,673 miles. All tests from 2022 to 2026 show passing results with no recorded faults, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the car has been well-kept, with no emerging mechanical or structural concerns requiring immediate attention. The mileage of 27,673 miles over 10 years equates to approximately 2,767 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for this age group. This low usage aligns with the consistent annual MOT intervals and lack of wear-related defects. Notably, the 2023 test at 17,918 miles showed a 5,169-mile gap from the prior test, which may indicate periods of inactivity. While this does not inherently signal neglect, it warrants scrutiny of components prone to degradation during prolonged standing, such as rubber seals, battery health, and corrosion in underbody areas. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, to confirm they show no signs of dry rot or fatigue despite low mileage. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop silently. Additionally, the exhaust system and bodyshell corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills, require thorough examination to rule out hidden structural issues. The MOT history provides no direct evidence of these concerns, but low mileage combined with annual testing does not eliminate the need for a physical inspection.
