2020 Fiat 500 C Launch Edition Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AE70 GCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from its previously clean record. While the car passed in February 2026 at 35,635 miles, the tester flagged both the nearside and offside front inner brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This represents the first recorded defect in three years, suggesting that the components are now reaching their natural wear limit rather than experiencing sudden mechanical failure. The mileage profile reflects low usage for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. Data shows consistent intervals between the July 2023 test at 13,104 miles and the March 2025 test at 25,607 miles. However, a jump of 10,028 miles occurred between March 2025 and February 2026. This recent spike in usage follows years of longer periods of vehicle sitting, which often correlates with the surface corrosion and pitting on brake discs noted in the latest MOT result. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front braking system to determine the depth of the pitting on the discs. Since both sides were affected simultaneously, the issue likely stems from environmental exposure during low use rather than a caliper fault. You should also check the brake pad thickness to ensure they have not been worn by the scored surfaces and inspect the rubber components in the suspension for cracking, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to dry rot in perish when left stationary for long periods.
