2016 FIAT 5001.2L PETROL

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status having passed its most recent MOT on October 31, 2025, 96,613 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical neglect in late 2023. While the car is currently legal for road, the history of reactive repairs suggests the previous owner only addressed specific faults once they were flagged for failure at the testing centre. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,600 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 62,358 miles and October 2024 at 85,658 miles, the car covered 23,000 miles, showing a steady usage rate. The recent interval of 10,955 miles recorded over the final year maintains this typical annual displacement. This regular accumulation suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which generally prevents the degradation of rubber components. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the October 2023 failure highlighted excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside front upper suspension components. Although these were seemingly replaced, the recurring nature of tyre wear indicates potential alignment issues or persistent component play. The buyer should also check the front brake system for uneven wear, as the 2024 test flagged thin pads shortly after the suspension work. The record shows poor tyre management habits across 2023 and 2024. The buyer must verify that the central stop lamp is functioning correctly, as this was a previous point of failure. Given the history of tyres reaching legal limits or wearing on edges, a thorough check of the current tread patterns is necessary to ensure no new mechanical issues are currently causing premature scrubbing.
