2021 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · CN71 AEB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2026-05-11, but the maintenance trend is worsening. While the car passed with no critical failures, the repeated tyre-related advisories across all four tyres indicate a significant and growing issue with tread wear and degradation. The nearside front tyre was flagged as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear, while all tyres displayed cracking or perishing, suggesting either prolonged storage, improper inflation, or exposure to environmental factors. These conditions are not typical of a vehicle with only 19,699 miles and may point to underlying issues such as incorrect tyre pressure, alignment problems, or a lack of regular driving. The mileage progression shows a low annual average of approximately 3,940 miles over five years, which is consistent with light use. However, the MOT history reveals a notable gap between the 2024-05-17 test and the 2025-05-12 test, with only 3,256 miles added in that period. This suggests the vehicle may have been stationary for extended periods, which can accelerate rubber degradation and affect suspension components. The 2026-05-11 test occurred just one month after the previous one, indicating regular use in the last year, but the tyre condition remains a concern despite the low mileage. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres, particularly the front tyres showing edge wear, as this can affect handling and safety. The cracking and perishing across all tyres suggest a need for replacement regardless of tread depth. Additionally, the front brake disc was noted as worn but not excessive in 2025, so a brake inspection is advised to assess pad thickness and caliper function. Suspension components should also be checked for bushing wear or coil spring fatigue, especially given the age and low mileage, which may indicate infrequent use and potential deterioration of elastomers.
