2008 Fiat 500 1.4L Petrol · YE58 ABO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 14 November 2025 at 69,088 miles. While the immediate status is passing, the maintenance history shows a period of instability in late 2025. The car failed two consecutive tests within a single week on 6 and 13 November before finally passing. This sequence suggests a specific mechanical or emissions fault that required immediate rectification to meet legal standards, though the trend has since returned to a stable state following the final pass. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,838 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in activity between March 2025 and May 2025, where the car covered 2,332 miles in two months, followed by a very slow period where only 41 miles were recorded between May and November 2025. Such low-frequency usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, potentially perished seals, and surface corrosion on brake discs due to lack of heat-induced cleaning. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and suspension components to check for structural corrosion, which is common on high-age Fiat models of this era. Given the low mileage, the brake system should be checked for seized calipers or perished hydraulic lines that result from sitting stationary. The rapid failures in November 2025 warrant a close look at the specific repairs made to ensure the fix was permanent rather than a temporary workaround.
