2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BJ65 VAA

The July 29 2026 MOT at 55,288 miles resulted in a failure, meaning the vehicle is presently not roadworthy. The progression from a clean pass in July 2025 to this failure shows a deteriorating maintenance record, with recurring tyre and suspension faults indicating neglect. The mileage has risen steadily from 8,397 miles in September 2018 to 55,288 miles in July 2026, averaging about 5,000 miles per year, which is low for an 11‑year‑old car and suggests long periods of inactivity rather than intensive use. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, where the 2026 test flagged corroded components and the 2024 and 2023 records noted worn shock absorber bushes, both of which can lead to loss of control if not addressed. Inspection of the braking system is essential, given the 2022 failure on heavily pitted inner brake discs, the 2019 and 2020 wear notes on front discs, and the 2026 tyre wear that points to possible harsh braking or alignment issues; the multiple tyre failures between 2021 and 2022 also signal potential neglect of tyre maintenance and wheel alignment.
