2018 FIAT 5001.2L Petrol

The 2018 Fiat 500 presented a valid MOT pass on 18 August 2025 at 53,168 miles, roughly eleven months before the current date, leaving the vehicle roadworthy as of that examination. The maintenance trend shows a stable baseline with one severe suspension defect in mid 2024 since corrected, yet the latest test introduced several consumable wear advisories. In that August 2025 test the tester flagged front brake discs worn, pitted or scored, off side front and both rear tyres worn close to legal limit on edges, and a corroded front exhaust clamp. These items signal deferred minor upkeep rather than structural decline. Mileage progression matches typical use for an eight year old hatchback. The record shows 34,535 miles on 23 July 2022, 41,858 on 3 August 2023, 47,412 on 20 August 2024, and 53,168 on the recent test. Annual gains of five to seven thousand miles indicate light motoring with no rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps. Aside from the 2024 failure the history is sparse and largely clean, implying the previous owners observed test deadlines without major mechanical neglect. A buyer must confirm the front suspension arm repair stemming from the failed test of 16 August 2024, where the near side front arm pin or bush was likely to detach and the off side front showed wear. The pass four days later suggests replacement, but inspect the arms for secure bushes and request proof of work. The August 2025 advisories require in person checks of front brake disc scoring depth, edge tyre tread on three corners, and underside view of the exhaust clamp corrosion. No structural rust or chassis defects appear in the records, though a routine ramp inspection remains prudent.
