2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · ARA 11Y

The 2018 Fiat 500 remains roadworthy with a clean pass at the most recent test on 2025-12-20 at 23,110 miles, and the maintenance trend is stable with no escalating faults across the record. The tester noted a cut on the offside front tyre outer wall that had not reached the ply or cords, a minor consumable issue rather than a structural or mechanical risk. Prior tests show only light, isolated advisories and no failures, indicating the vehicle has been presented in acceptable condition each year. Annual mileage averages around 2,889 miles against an eight-year life, confirming very light use. The odometer moved from 9,476 miles at the 2021-12-23 test to 13,928 at 2022-12-15, then 17,734 by 2023-12-15, 20,681 by 2024-12-12, and 23,110 by 2025-12-20. The progression is steady with no gaps or sudden accumulation, and the sparse defect history across these dates suggests the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current without neglect. A buyer should still inspect the front suspension arms in person. The 2024-12-12 test at 20,681 miles flagged worn inner pin or bushes on both sides, though not causing excessive movement; this warrants a physical check for progression given low annual use can allow rubber components to degrade through age rather than load. The offside front tyre cut from December 2025 should be examined to confirm it has not deepened with subsequent driving. Given the low mileage and clean record, serious structural corrosion or brake defects are not indicated in the data. The buyer should nonetheless verify underbody condition and brake disc wear, as long standing periods between use can promote surface corrosion and seized calipers not captured in the annual tests.
