2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DY67 EDC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in mechanical condition after several years of clean records. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2024 without any defects, the November 2025 test at 20,945 miles resulted in multiple failures before a successful pass. This trend suggests that components which have sat stationary for long periods are now reaching the end of their service life despite the low annual mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,327 miles per year. Between the November 2024 test at 17,381 miles and the November 2025 test at 20,945 miles, the car covered 3,564 miles. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and corrosion on metal surfaces due to a lack of heat cycles and mechanical movement, which aligns with the pitted brake discs and worn bushes noted in the latest MOT report. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The 2025 failure flagged excessive wear on front suspension arm bushes and both rear shock absorber bushes, indicating that the rubber components have perished or degraded. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted as pitted and scored, which is a common symptom of vehicles that sit unused for extended periods. The buyer should verify that all faults from the November 2025 failure were actually rectified and check for any remaining play in the steering geometry or suspension during a test drive.
