2015 FIAT 5001.2L PETROL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent data indicates a sudden decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its test in April 2026 at 67,905 miles, it had failed just four days prior due to a critical safety failure. The tester identified a leaking nearside rear hydraulic brake cylinder that affected braking performance, alongside a perished offside front tyre. This suggests that while repairs were eventually made to rectify the failure, the owner neglected essential components until a formal inspection occurred. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,173 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 46,048 miles and April 2025 at 60,405 miles, the car covered 14,357 miles, showing a steady annual usage rate. This low mileage often means less wear on drivetrain components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading and seals failing, as evidenced by the perished tyre and the leaking brake cylinder found despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system. The previous failure of the nearside rear hydraulic brake cylinder indicates a potential for further fluid leaks or caliper failure across the axle. Additionally, the 2024 record noted a porous engine sump and a handbrake effort reaching the minimum limit of 16%. You should check for active oil weeping around the engine and ensure the handbrake mechanism has sufficient travel remaining. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, inspect all bushes and tyres for cracking or perishing, as the recent failure proves these areas are neglected on this specific car.
