2020 Fiat 500 Star 1.2L Petrol · AE20 GFZ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging surface wear. While the car passed its previous three tests between 2023 and 2025 without defects, the March 2026 test introduced three advisories that suggest the vehicle is beginning to require preventative maintenance despite its low overall mileage. The car has accumulated only 9,050 miles over six years, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per annum. This low-usage profile is consistent with the clean records seen at 4,065 miles in March 2023 and 7,871 miles in March 2025. However, long periods of stationary time often lead to specific issues such as the degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the faults found in the latest MOT report. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, as the March 2026 tester flagged pitting and scoring on both the nearside and offside front inner brake discs. This surface corrosion is common in vehicles that sit for extended periods, allowing moisture to react with the iron discs. The advisory for cracking or perishing on the offside front outer tyre further indicates that the rubber compound is hardening due to age rather than tread wear, necessitating a timely replacement to ensure structural integrity.
