2020 Fiat 500 Rockstar 1.2L Petrol · BW69 OND

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning progression of structural corrosion. While the car passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 54,878 miles, it initially failed that same test due to a structural failure in the nearside front inner tyre and illegal wear on the offside front. The transition from minor rust advisories to persistent corrosion on the exhaust system, engine oil sump, and oil filter indicates an accelerating rate of rust that requires immediate monitoring. The mileage pattern of approximately 9,146 miles per year is consistent with average usage for a six-year-old vehicle. The record shows steady annual accumulation, moving from 36,001 miles in January 2023 to 54,878 miles in January 2026. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not been stationary for long periods, yet the frequent alerts for tyres worn close to the legal limit indicate that the previous owners likely only addressed consumables when they reached failure thresholds rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the corrosion on the engine oil sump and exhaust system. Because the oil sump is a structural engine component, any significant perforation could lead to oil leaks and catastrophic engine failure. The buyer should also inspect the suspension, specifically checking the offside front shock absorber bush noted in January 2025, to ensure the wear has not worsened further. Given the recurring history of uneven tyre wear across multiple years, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure the steering geometry is not causing premature tyre failure.
