2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BW18 JMU

The April 2026 MOT at 38,781 miles was passed with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a maintenance trend that improved after the June 2023 failure, with subsequent tests showing stable, defect‑free results. At eight years old, the 38,781‑mile odometer reflects an average annual mileage of about 4,850 miles, but the record shows a marked increase in usage between 2024 and 2026, rising from 22,966 miles in May 2024 to 38,781 miles by April 2026, a gain of 15,815 miles in roughly two years. Recurring issues include near‑side rear tyre wear approaching the legal limit and cracking on the outer face, both front brake discs displaying pitting or scoring without serious weakening, and the June 2023 failure noting ineffective wipers and perishing off‑side tyres, all pointing to ongoing tyre and brake concerns. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the brake discs, pads and calipers for binding or excessive wear, examine tyre tread and side‑wall integrity on all four wheels, test wiper operation for full coverage, and check suspension bushes, coil springs and any signs of structural corrosion.
