2019 FIAT 500L1.4L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-26 shows the vehicle passed but noted an offside rear tyre with slight damage/cracking, a defect also recorded in prior tests. A separate failed MOT on the same day highlighted the same tyre issue and a nearside headlamp aim too high. This suggests the tyre defect has persisted despite previous inspections, raising concerns about potential neglect or recurring wear. The offside rear tyre defect appears to be the most consistent issue, appearing in four of the five MOT records. A fractured offside front lower coil spring was also recorded in 2025-06-09, a more serious mechanical fault that could affect handling and safety. No other major defects were noted in the 2024-06-19 passed MOT, indicating a relatively clean history prior to 2025. The trend shows a mix of stability and recurring minor issues. While the coil spring failure was a one-time event, the tyre defect has reoccurred across multiple inspections, suggesting either unresolved repair or ongoing wear. The vehicle’s low mileage (31,022 miles over seven years) implies lighter use, which may reduce wear on components like brakes and suspension but could also mean prolonged periods of inactivity, accelerating tyre degradation. The low mileage relative to age is ambiguous.
