2018 Fiat 500 Lounge 1.2L Petrol · JGZ 5445

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑09 recording a pass at 94,950 miles with no defects. Four days earlier a failure was logged at 94,941 miles, also without recorded defects, suggesting either a quickly resolved issue or a data anomaly. Across the five tests there are no recurring faults, indicating a stable maintenance pattern and no progressive deterioration of major systems. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old car. From 53,120 miles in April 2023 to 70,426 miles in April 2024 the car gained 17,306 miles in twelve months, then from 70,426 miles to 94,950 miles over roughly twenty‑one months, yielding an average of about 11,900 miles per year. The cluster of two MOTs within four days in February 2026 reflects recent intensive checking rather than an abnormal wear trend. A buyer should inspect the likely cause of the February 5 failure, focusing on the brake system for binding calipers, worn discs or pads, and the suspension for deteriorated bushes and coil‑spring condition. Tyre tread depth and even wear should be verified, as should the exhaust and under‑body for corrosion, given the car’s age. A visual check for structural rust around sills and door frames is also advisable, together with confirming that ancillary components such as the steering rack and transmission mounts show no excessive play or leakage.
