2016 Fiat 500C 0.9L Petrol · CA05 PNA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift from deferred maintenance to active reactive repair. While it passed its most recent test in August 2025 at 33,418 miles, this followed a significant mechanical failure just five days prior at 33,413 miles. That failure revealed a comprehensive list of defects across the suspension, braking system, and tyres, which appear to have been addressed to achieve the passing grade. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,342 miles per year. With 33,418 miles recorded, there is a notable gap in usage between July 2022 (21,363 miles) and July 2024 (29,157 miles), during which the car covered only 7,794 miles. While low mileageion reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, periods of standing often ( to the degradation of rubber components and fluids, which is evident in this record. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the suspension assembly, as oil misting on the front shock artwork has been noted consistently since July 2023 at 22,885 miles and persisted through August 2024. Furthermore, the 2025 failure identified worn bushes in the rear upper shock absorbers and lower suspension arms. While these were noted as not resulting in excessive movement at the time, the recurring nature suggests the rubber is beginning to perish due to age rather than high mileage. The braking system also requires scrutiny; front brake discs and pads were flagged as worn or pitted in 2023 and again in the July 2025 failure. Given the history of exposed cords and perishing tyres in the 2025 test, the buyer must verify that all four tyres were replaced with quality rubber and that the braking components do not show signs of immediate corrosion or uneven wear resulting from long periods of inactivity.
