2012 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · WV12 FBL

The February 2026 MOT at 72,199 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, demonstrating that the vehicle currently meets all legal requirements and that the maintenance trend remains stable. Earlier tests in March 2025 and February 2024 also showed passes with no defects, reinforcing consistent upkeep. The recorded mileage of 72,199 at 14 years of age translates to an average of 5,157 miles per year, a figure that is low for a vehicle of this age and suggests periods of limited use or extended storage. The interval between the February 2024 test at 65,455 miles and the March 2025 test at 71,232 miles spans roughly 13 months and 5,777 miles, indicating a modest increase in usage during that period, while the 5‑mile difference between the February 2026 tests shows negligible kilometre accumulation between successive inspections. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or cracking, verify that the brake discs and calipers show no binding or excessive wear, and inspect the exhaust system and chassis for any signs of corrosion, especially given the low annual mileage that can allow rust to develop unnoticed. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition are also advisable checks, as these consumables may reveal how the vehicle has been cared for. Overall, the absence of recorded defects across four MOTs suggests the Fiat 500 has been maintained without major mechanical failures, but a physical inspection focusing on suspension, braking, structural integrity and exhaust condition will confirm whether the documented stability translates into genuine roadworthiness.
