2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BN67 KMU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect records to age-related wear. While the car achieved clean passes between 2021 and 2024, the most recent test in September 2025 at 23,847 miles introduced several advisories. This indicates that while the mechanical components remain functional, the vehicle is beginning to succumb to environmental degradation rather than operational stress. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,650 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between November 2022 and December 2023, where only 3,003 miles were covered over thirteen months. This low-frequency usage pattern explains the lack of mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but the long intervals between drives often contribute to the rapid deterioration of rubber-based components and the onset of surface corrosion on metal parts under the chassis. A buyer must prioritize inspecting the suspension and tyres highlighted in the 2025 test. The tester flagged corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs, which is a common issue on low-mileage cars that sit stationary. This corrosion should be monitored for structural thinning to prevent a sudden spring failure. Furthermore, the perishing and cracking noted on both front tyres indicate the rubber compound has reached the end of its life due to age rather than tread depth, necessitating replacement regardless of the remaining tread.
