2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DP66 CXR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on February 16, 2026, 24,259 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The failure just two days prior to that pass revealed multiple critical safety defects, including an offside front tyre with exposed cords, severely thinned front brake pads, and a misaligned headlamp. While these issues were seemingly rectified to secure the pass, the record indicates that components were only addressed once they reached the point of legal failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-mileage patterns, moving from 15,395 miles in February 2023 to 24,259 miles in early 2026. This low usage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it increases the risk of component degradation related to inactivity. The pitting noted on the brake discs in January 2025 is a common symptom of a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should inspect the braking system thoroughly in person, as the 2026 failure confirmed pads were worn down to the 1.5mm legal limit. Given the low mileage and previous pitting on discs, check for corrosion on the brake lines and seized calipers which result from infrequent use. Also verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. While the structural integrity appears clean based on the records, the recurring-related faults suggest the owner only performs maintenance when necessitated by the MOT test.
