2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YD66 OGL

The 2016 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 8 December 2025 at 8,164 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2025 has resulted in a clean pass, showing no advisories or mechanical faults across the recorded period. The vehicle exhibits no worsening condition and no recurring defect pattern requiring concern from the official record. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car. The tester logged 4,475 miles on 10 October 2022, rising to 5,415 miles by 6 October 2023, then 6,405 miles on 5 September 2024, 7,770 miles on 4 September 2025, and 8,164 miles on 8 December 2025. This equates to roughly 800 to 1,000 miles per year, with only a short three-month gap between the final two tests. Such limited annual use implies long stationary periods rather than sustained wear on drivetrain or suspension components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as prolonged standing promotes perished rubber and seized mechanisms not always visible during a static MOT. Check underneath for structural corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify tyre sidewall condition given the age of the original rubber versus the low mileage covered. The clean advisory history means no specific recurring fault directs the inspection, but low-use Fiats commonly suffer from flat-spotted tyres and degraded fluid intervals. Confirm coolant, brake fluid, and cambelt status against Fiat schedule before purchase.
