2019 FIAT 5001.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding the front suspension geometry. In the most recent test on November 2025 at 30,242 miles, the car failed due to excessive wear on the offside front suspension arm bush. While it passed upon immediate re-test, the nearside side was also flagged as worn but still acceptable. This indicates that the front suspension components are reaching the end of their functional life and require close monitoring. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,320 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 6,497 miles, followed by only 4,574 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the latest inspection. This low usage often correlates with less mechanical wear, but it can also lead to surface corrosion on braking components, as evidenced by the pitted and scored front brake discs noted in late 2024. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension arms and bushes, as these faults have appeared repeatedly since the 2024 test at 25,668 miles. The deteriorated exhaust flexi mentioned in November 2024 should be checked for cracks or leaks that could lead to a future emissions failure. Furthermore, given the low mileage, the brake discs should be examined to ensure the previous pitting has not resulted in uneven wear or compromised braking performance.
