2021 Fiat 500 Lounge Mhev 1.0L Petrol · DF21 UTP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on May 29th, 2026, but the recent history reveals a reactive approach to basic maintenance. While the car passed its most recent test, it failed just three days prior at 21,861 miles due to a broken offside headlamp bracket and front tyre issues. This sequence suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical or safety defects when they are imminent to cause an MOT failure, rather than performing preventative checks. The mileage profile is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,380 miles per year. The car covered 2,223 miles between the May 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,738 miles in the year leading up to the May 2026 inspection. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though the long intervals between miles can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or corrosion of brake discs if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the front suspension geometry, given that the offside front tyre was flagged for being worn on the edge in 2026. This uneven wear, combined with the distorted nearside road wheel recorded in May 2024, indicates a history of alignment issues or impact damage that could affect handling. The nearside front tyre also requires close scrutiny for structural integrity to ensure the previous cut has not progressed toward the cords, and the headlamp assembly should be verified to ensure the bracket is secure and correctly aligned.
