2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BW18 NWM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to age-related wear. The most recent test in July 2025 at 12,595 miles identified the first recorded defects since the car's inception. While the vehicle passed, the appearance of pitted front brake discs and perishing tyres indicates that the vehicle is beginning to succumb to the effects of time rather than mechanical strain. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 1,574 miles per year over eight years. The data shows consistent annual testing with no sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest heavy-duty long-distance use. Between 2021 and 2025, the car covered only 9,338 miles, which supports the claim of light use. This low-frequency operation often means the vehicle sits for long periods, which explains the chemical degradation of rubber components and the oxidation of metal surfaces despite low tread depth. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of all four tyres, as the cracking and perishing noted in both 2024 and 2025 suggest the rubber compound is reaching the end of its life regardless of mileage. The front brake discs require close attention; pitting and scoring reported in the latest test often result from moisture sitting on the rotors while the car is stationary. You should also check for surface corrosion on the brake lines and suspension components, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to accelerated rust when they are not driven regularly.
