2009 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR59 FWA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 02 May 2025 at 68,646 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car consistently passes tests after addressing immediate failures. While the record shows two failures in June 2024 and April 2025, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificates suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying non-compliance issues before they escalate into mechanical or structural degradation. The mileage profile is notably low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,038 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in usage between June 2023 at 67,803 miles and June 2024 at 68,522 miles, where only 719 miles were covered in a year. This pattern suggests the car sits for long periods, which often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine but increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, suspension bushes, brake lines, and potential internal corrosion from lack of use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as low-mileage cars often suffer from dry rot or perished seals rather than wear. Check the sills and wheel arches for corrosion, which is a common weak point for this era. Given the recent failures that occurred within very short mileage increments (at 68,520 and 68,646 miles), verify that the previous issues were simple consumable items like bulbs, wipers, or minor adjustments rather than deeper mechanical faults that require frequent expensive work.
