2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR62 KXF

The Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy at its most recent examination on 15 December 2025, roughly seven months before the current date, where the tester passed the vehicle at 103,781 miles with no defects recorded. Across the available history from November 2023 to December 2025 the maintenance trend is stable. Two isolated failures on 1 November 2023 and 29 November 2024, both showing no defects, were followed swiftly by passes at identical or near-identical mileages. This pattern suggests previous owners resolved any non-mechanical or undocumented issues without delay. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical use for a 14-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 96,033 miles on 1 November 2023 and rose to 102,156 by 11 December 2024, an annual rate near 6,100 miles. In the subsequent year to 15 December 2025 the car covered only 1,625 miles, indicating a clear slowdown in usage. Test intervals remain annual with no prolonged gaps, though the sparse five-entry record limits deep trend analysis. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of core mechanical and structural elements. The MOT data flags no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or exhaust emissions, yet a 2012 chassis with over 103,000 miles warrants checking for corrosion at sills and subframes. The unexplained failures merit scrutiny: request the rectification invoices from the 2023 and 2024 tests to confirm whether binding calipers, tyre tread, or lighting faults were addressed. Previous keeper behaviour appears compliant given the prompt repasses, but the lack of recorded wear items across tests is atypical for the mileage and could reflect minimal workshop reporting. Examine wiper blades, tyre condition, and steering rack gaiters in person before purchase.
