2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EH02 DOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test in April 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test at 55,819 miles initially resulted in a failure due to a structural failure in the offside rear tyre and a fractured offside rear coil spring. While these specific issues were rectified to achieve a pass, the recurring nature of the failures suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when they prevent an MOT certificate rather than performing routine preventative inspections. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 55,819 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a notable gap in usage between June 2024 at 45,655 miles and June 2025 at 54,715 miles, where the car covered nearly 9,000 miles in a single year. This intermittent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components and seals, which is consistent with the fuel cap failure and tyrerelated issues noted across the records. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the record shows repeated inner edge wear on tyres in 2024 and 2025, which indicates a persistent tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. Given the fractured coil spring found in April 2026, the remaining springs should be checked for signs of corrosion or stress fractures. Furthermore, the history of inoperative daytime running lamps and an ineffective fuel cap suggests that basic electrical components and secondary seals are frequently overlooked until they reach a point of failure.
