FIAT 5002018 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 27,646 miles with no defects recorded. This represents an improving maintenance trend compared to the previous year where multiple mechanical and safety failures were identified. While the most recent test suggests the car is currently in good order, the history indicates that the previous owner only addressed faults after failing a test to bring the vehicle up to legal standards. At eight years old, the recorded mileage of 27,646 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,456 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with less wear on the drivetrain, but it frequently leads to specific issues with stationary components. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 4,721 miles, showing a consistent but low-intensity usage pattern. The gaps between tests suggest the car may sit for extended periods, which often accounts for the specific mechanical issues seen in the record. A buyer must scrutinise the suspension and tyre alignment, as the record shows recurring inner edge wear on front tyres in both 2023 and 2024. This typically indicates a geometry issue or worn suspension bushes rather than simple mileage-wear. The fractured nearside coil spring noted in 2023 is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles sitting for long periods. Furthermore, the 31% imbalance in rear brakes recorded in 2024 suggests that the calipers may be seizing or sticking due to lack of use, requiring a physical inspection to ensure the corrosion on the brake discs and exhaust clamp has not progressed.
