FIAT 500C2018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 May 2026 at 64,183 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears to be improving, as previous issues regarding consumable components and exhaust hardware have been addressed. The clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the current owner is proactive in rectifying flagged faults before they become failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old city car, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. Between the June 2024 test at 52,853 miles and the June 2025 test at 57,932 miles, the car covered 5,079 miles, indicating steady but light usage. This gradual accumulation reduces the likelihood of excessive wear on the drivetrain components compared to high-mileage examples, though it necessitates consistent use. A buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension geometry during a physical inspection. The June 2023 and 2025 tests both flagged tyres worn on the inner edges, which typically indicates incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes and control arm components. While the 2026 test showed no defects, the recurring nature of uneven tyre wear suggests the alignment requires a professional check to prevent premature tyre replacement. The exhaust system also warrants a check for corrosion, following the 2023 report of a nearside rear exhaust clamp rusted through. While this component was likely replaced, structural rust on the exhaust hangers or mounting points remains a common concern for this model. Given the low mileage, the primary mechanical risks are limited to rubber-related perish and surface corrosion rather than significant engine or gearbox fatigue.
