2017 FIAT 5001.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding consumable components despite the low mileage. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 15,731 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories concerning tyre degradation and wiper performance. The transition from a clean record in 2023 to recurring perished and damaged tyres suggests the car likely sits stationary for long periods, leading to material rot in the rubber. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,748 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap between the December 2022 test at 5,974 miles and the 2024 test at 11,395 miles, representing only 5,421 miles driven over nearly two years. This low usage frequency explains the surface pitting on the nearside front brake disc noted in 2022, as brake components are not used frequently enough to clear off oxidation and prevent surface corrosion. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres thoroughly, as the record shows a persistent pattern of cracking and perishing on the nearside front and rear units. The 2022 failure due to a cut reaching the ply and cords followed by the 2025 advisory for edge wear and cracking indicates the rubber is failing due to age rather than tread depth. The buyer should also check the brake discs for deep pitting and ensure the calipers are not seized, as the documented long-term standing often leads to mechanical seizing in the braking system.
