2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YR16 AAO

The 2026‑02‑06 MOT passed with only a minor offside front upper shock absorber bush wear (5.3.2 (c)), confirming the Fiat 500 is presently roadworthy; the maintenance trend has been stable to slightly improving since the 2021 failures were addressed, with no major defects recorded in the three most recent annual tests. The mileage of 70,098 at ten years averages about 7,000 miles per year, which is typical; the progression from 41,380 miles in March 2020 to 70,098 in February 2026 shows consistent annual increases of roughly 3,000–6,000 miles, with a notable jump of 8,000 miles between the 2020 and 2021 tests, indicating a period of higher usage that was later managed. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes on the front and rear shocks for excessive wear, verify tyre tread and condition on all corners, and check wiper operation, as these items have previously failed; the recent absence of brake or structural defect notices suggests the braking system and chassis are currently sound but merit visual and functional verification.
