2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · BX68 PKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in consumable component upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 44,980 miles passed, the tester identified pitted and scored front brake discs and a nearside rear tyre reaching the legal limit. These issues mirror findings from the August 2024 test at 40,815 miles, where the front discs and a nearside front tyre were also flagged. This recurring pattern suggests a reactive approach to maintenance, replacing parts only when they fail inspection rather than proactive servicing. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage between May 2022 and 2025, where the car covered roughly 14,000 miles over three years. However, the gap of 4,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates periods of low annual usage. Low mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting tyres or corrosion on brake components, which may align with the pitting and scoring noted on the front discs. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The repeated reports of worn on edge tyres indicate the alignment may be out or that suspension bushes are suffering premature wear. It is also essential to check for uneven pad wear across the axles and verify that the front brake discs have been replaced since the last advisory noted thinning. Since no structural corrosion was recorded in the history, the focus remains on these mechanical wear and tear items that have consistently been neglected by previous owners.
