2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · CV15 YCS

The 2015 FIAT 500 presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 29 May 2026 at 93,121 miles with zero defects recorded. This is a marked improvement over the preceding three years, during which the rear sub-frame and axle beam repeatedly drew corrosion-related advisories. The most recent test suggests that either remedial work has been carried out or the corrosion was treated and undersealed before it worsened to a failure point. The vehicle is currently roadworthy with no outstanding defects. The mileage accumulation is broadly typical for an eleven-year-old car, averaging roughly 8,466 miles per year. The annual tests from 2022 through 2025 show steady and predictable jumps: 55,659 in August 2022, 60,816 in August 2023, 76,817 in July 2024, and 89,363 in June 2025. The 2024 to 2025 interval saw a notably sharper increase of around 12,500 miles in under twelve months, suggesting heavier use in that period. No suspicious gaps or mileage anomalies appear in the record. The recurring theme in this MOT history is rear sub-frame and axle beam corrosion, flagged in three consecutive tests from 2022 to 2024. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the rear sub-frame mounting points, the axle beam, and the surrounding underseal for fresh coatings that may mask ongoing corrosion. The rear suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers deserve close scrutiny given the structural context. The front tyre wear advisories noted in July 2024 point to possible alignment or suspension geometry issues at the front end. Checking tyre condition, wheel alignment, and the condition of the front suspension track rod ends and wishbone bushes would be prudent. The clean 2026 result is encouraging, but physical underbody inspection remains essential to confirm the integrity of the repairs.
