2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CF15 KYJ

The most recent MOT test on 31 March 2025 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy at 90,810 miles, with no defects or advisories recorded. The history shows a pattern of repeated failures at identical mileages—both 79,773 and 85,684 miles—followed by successful retests within days, suggesting either a test centre error or a vehicle that narrowly passed critical thresholds. The last two annual tests (2024 and 2025) passed without issue, indicating no worsening trend in major systems. However, the repeated failures at specific intervals imply potential recurring issues that may not have been fully resolved, particularly if the same components were repeatedly assessed. The recorded mileage of 90,810 miles over 11 years aligns with typical usage for this age, averaging around 8,255 miles annually. There are no significant gaps or abrupt jumps in mileage between tests, though the double failures at 79,773 and 85,684 miles suggest the vehicle may have been held off the road for brief periods during those periods. This could indicate either a deliberate pause for repairs or a temporary storage period. The lack of advisories in the most recent tests suggests no urgent structural concerns, but the repeated failures warrant scrutiny of components that might fail at predictable intervals, such as suspension bushes or brake calipers. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these often fail at predictable mileages. The repeated failures at similar mileages also raise the possibility of binding rear brakes or worn brake discs, which could explain the retest scenarios. Structural integrity should be checked for corrosion, especially around wheel arches, sills, and the subframe, as these areas are common failure points in this model. The absence of advisories in the latest tests is reassuring, but the pattern of near-failures suggests thorough testing of these high-wear components is essential before purchase.
