2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · G23 CET

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with an improving trend in recent years. The most recent MOT test on 23 October 2025 at 55,955 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a period of minor mechanical issues, including brake disc wear and a non-excessive oil leak noted during the 26 October 2024 test at 53,779 miles. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that previous issues have been addressed or have reached a state of acceptable compliance. The mileage pattern indicates low annual usage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year over the eleven-year lifespan of the vehicle. The record shows consistent, gradual accumulation, such as the increase from 33,247 miles in March 2020 to 39,885 miles in March 2021. While low mileage often suggests less mechanical wear, the history reveals a tendency for rubber components to perish. Multiple tests between 2018 and 2021 flagged tyres as being damaged, cracking, or perishing, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension components. The 2024 record highlighted pitted and scored front brake discs, and the 2019 failure specifically noted worn brake pads. Although the 2025 test was clear, checking for any signs of renewed brake disc corrosion or binding calipers is prudent. The 2022 failure for an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush indicates that the vehicle has experienced component fatigue in the steering and suspension geometry. The history of minor exhaust leaks and oil seepage warrants a close look at the engine bay and underside for any active fluid leaks or excessive corrosion. While the recent clean pass is encouraging, the recurring issues with tyres and lighting components suggest that previous owners occasionally overlooked basic consumable upkeep. Verifying the current condition of all rubber seals, suspension bushes, and tyre sidewalls will ensure these historical patterns of perishing have not resurfaced.
