2012 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WU62 VCP

The 2012 Fiat 500 is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2025 at 90 673 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable; the earlier failure on 4 July 2025, also at 90 561 miles, listed no defects, suggesting a clerical or procedural issue rather than a mechanical shortfall. No recurring faults appear in the record. Mileage growth is linear and typical for a vehicle of this age. From 75 205 miles on 7 July 2023 to 83 070 miles on 12 July 2024 represents 7 865 miles over twelve months, and from 83 070 miles to 90 673 miles over the following year gives 7 603 miles. The average annual use of roughly 6 500 miles aligns with the general wear pattern for a Fiat 500. No sudden spikes or long gaps in mileage are evident. A prospective buyer should verify that the suspension bushes, coil springs and steering linkages are free of cracking or excessive play, as these components are prone to fatigue in older Fiat 500s. Inspect the brake system – front and rear calipers, discs and pads – for binding or uneven wear, even though the MOTs recorded no issues. Tyre tread depth should be at least 1.6 mm, and the wiper blades should be in good condition to ensure visibility. The exhaust system should be inspected for rust or leaks, and the battery and alternator should be checked for proper charging. Finally, confirm that the vehicle’s service history includes regular oil changes and that any potential corrosion on the chassis or body panels has been addressed. In summary, the MOT record shows a vehicle that has passed recent inspections with no defects, and its mileage accumulation is within expected limits. Nevertheless, a detailed physical inspection focusing on suspension, brakes, tyres, wipers, exhaust, battery, and chassis integrity will provide assurance that the car remains in reliable condition.
