2023 Fiat 500E Icon Electric · DN23 KFK

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. When reviewing the history, the maintenance trend appears stable and positive. While the vehicle failed its 2025 inspection due to a non-functional offside front dipped beam and worn front tyres, these issues were promptly addressed, and the subsequent clean pass indicates that the vehicle is currently being maintained to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 17,530 miles over approximately three years, this vehicle has been used significantly less than the UK average, averaging roughly 5,843 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, it can also indicate a pattern of short-distance urban trips or periods of prolonged inactivity. For an electric vehicle, this usage profile means the high-voltage battery has likely undergone fewer charge cycles, though the 12V auxiliary battery may be more susceptible to degradation if the car has sat idle for extended periods. Given the previous advisories regarding tyres worn on the edges, a prospective buyer should carefully inspect the current tyre treads for any signs of uneven wear, which could point to an underlying wheel alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. Even though the latest MOT is clean, you should examine the tyre sidewalls for fine cracking or perishing, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. During a test drive, listen for any unusual knocks or clunks from the front suspension and ensure the steering is centered and stable. Special attention should be paid to the braking system, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to brake disc corrosion or binding calipers due to lack of frequent high-pressure use. Check for any shuddering under braking or a slight pull to one side. Furthermore, verify the service history to ensure that time-based maintenance has been performed, specifically the replacement of brake fluid, which degrades based on a calendar schedule rather than mileage. Finally, ensure the 12V battery is holding a strong charge to avoid intermittent electronic faults common in low-usage electric vehicles.
