FIAT 5002018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 29 May 2025 at 39,237 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the car is currently meeting all safety and emissions standards. While a failure occurred in late May 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests that the identified defect was addressed promptly, reflecting a proactive approach to maintenance rather than a reactive neglect. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the car covered 3,832 miles, with a slightly higher interval of 4,030 miles between the March 2023 and May 2024 tests. This low-intensity usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer to the degradation of rubber-based components like suspension bushes or brake seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer should verify the specific cause of the failure at 34,600 miles in May 2024 to ensure the repair was not merely a temporary fix. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion, which often occurs when cars are driven infrequently. Additionally, checking the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat rot is essential, as age-related rubber degradation often precedes tread depth issues on low-use vehicles of this vintage.
