2017 Fiat 500 Lounge S-A 1.2L Petrol · DU67 ONK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean history across its recorded tests. The most recent inspection on 23 August 2025 at 16,893 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure just four days prior at 16,832 miles. This initial failure showed no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was immediately rectified before the re-test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,877 miles per year. Between the May 2022 test at 10,995 miles and the July 2023 test at 12,881 miles, the car covered only 1,886 miles in over fourteen months. The subsequent gap of 4,012 miles over two years confirms a consistent low usage pattern. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often introduces risks associated with long periods of vehicle stationary. Given the lack of mechanical failures in the record, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-use storage. A buyer must check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, as infrequent use can prevent the discs from cleaning themselves. The tyres should be inspected for flat spotting or cracking in the sidewalls, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Checking the suspension bushes and fluid mounts is also essential to ensure that the low mileage has not masked dry rot or environmental degradation.
