2013 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · 11 SLK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension and braking issues. While it passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 40,516 miles, it failed immediately prior due to multiple mechanical-related de-marts. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to recurring failures in the last two years indicates that components are reaching the end of their service life despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 33,321 miles and the March 2025 test at 36,950 miles, the car covered only 3,629 miles. This low usage explains the presence of corrosion and pitting on the brake discs noted in the 2026 test, as these components often degrade when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods rather than through high-frequency use. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record flags excessively worn suspension arm bushes and leaking shock absorbers in 2025, followed by a worn top mount bush on the nearside front shock in 2026. These recurring issues suggest the rubber components are perished due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, the corrosion on the rear coil springs noted in 2025 should be checked for structural fractures to ensure the rust has not progressed beyond the surface level.
