2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · XR62 SAM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on February 2026 at 47,416 miles. This latest inspection resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all statutory requirements. Following a single failure in late 2023, the vehicle has maintained three consecutive passes without advisories, suggesting that previous mechanical issues were addressed and the car has since been under consistent care. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps between tests, which is typical for short-distance city driving or periods ofterm storage. For instance, between the March 2025 and February 2026 tests, the car covered only 5,828 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, such intervals can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake components if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods without use. Given the clean MOT history in the recent years, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. Check for flat spots on the tyres and corrosion on the brake discs, which can occur if the car is not driven frequently. Examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of cracking, as these parts age over time regardless of how many miles the car has travelled. The lack of recorded structural rust advisories in the history suggests the chassis remains sound, but a visual check of the underbody is necessary to confirm the vehicle has been kept in a dry environment.
