2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CE65 MXR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding wear components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 70,608 miles passed with a non-excessive oil leak, a fault that has appeared in every annual inspection since 2024. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of advisories suggests a reactive maintenance approach where parts are replaced only upon failure rather than through preventative intervals. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 6,400 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 50,074 miles and the 2026 test at 70,608 miles, the car covered 20,534 miles. This low annual mileage suggests short urban trips, which often contributes to the accelerated degradation of suspension-related components like rubber bushes and the corrosion of brake discs as seen in the record. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension assembly, as the record shows a history of corroded coil springs dating back to 2022, progressing to worn front arm bushes and strut top mounts by 2024. The 2025 advisory regarding perished and unevenly worn tyres further indicates that the owner previously neglected basic consumable maintenance and alignment checks. Additionally, the persistent oil leak noted over the last three years should be investigated to ensure it remains a minor seep rather than a more significant gasket failure that could lead to engine trouble.
