2018 FIAT 5001.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While it passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 37,094 miles, this followed a failure on the same day for tyre and brake disc issues. The trend shows a period of clean inspections between 2023 and 2024 followed by a recent decline in mechanical attention, suggesting components are only addressed once they fail MOT standards. At 37,094 miles over eight years, the car has a significantly low annual mileage average of approximately 4,600 miles per year. This low usage explains the perishing issues noted in the September 2023 test at 26,744 miles, where the rear tyres showed excessive cracking despite sufficient tread. Low mileage vehicles often suffer from age degradation of rubber components while sitting. The 4,826 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests are consistent with light commuting use but did not prevent the eventual deterioration ofের hardware. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2023 failure flagged excessively worn front suspension arm bushes and twisted brake hoses that catch on full lock; these should be verified as replaced and correctly routed to prevent chafing. Furthermore, the 2025 record identified pitted and scored inner brake discs, which is common on low-mileage cars where moisture causes surface corrosion during stationary periods. Ensure the current tyres are free of sidewall cracking and uneven wear, as the previous set failed for being below the legal limit.
