2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EK15 KXP

The 2015 Fiat 500 presents a stable and recently improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2026 at 44,767 miles passed with zero defects recorded, a clean bill of health that directly addresses the cluster of faults flagged just twelve months prior. The May 2025 failure at 41,478 miles was notably busy, with the tester flagging both front tyre structural tears, corroded and pitted front brake discs, illegible rear registration plate inscription, misaimed headlamps, and an offside wiper arm contacting the screen. Every one of those defects appears to have been rectified before the subsequent pass on the same date, and the 2026 test confirms no recurrence, indicating the last owner invested in proper remedial work rather than patching. At roughly 4,070 miles per year over eleven years, this is a genuinely low-mileage example. The odometer moved just 1,922 miles between May 2024 and May 2025, then 3,289 miles in the following year, suggesting the car has seen consistent but light use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The mileage progression is steady with no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes, and the annual test pattern confirms the vehicle has been used regularly enough to keep seals, rubber components, and the drivetrain exercised. Despite the clean 2026 result, a buyer should still inspect several areas in person. The repeated headlamp aim failures across both the 2024 and 2025 tests, where aim was flagged as too high on both occasions before swinging to too low in 2025, suggest possible suspension sag or worn mounting points that may resurface. The 2024 advisory for a worn nearside front Macpherson strut pin or bush warrants a physical check for play, knocking, or uneven tyre wear, as this component can deteriorate further with age even at low mileage. The 2025 front brake disc pitting and scoring, though remediated, means a close inspection of disc thickness and condition is prudent, along with checking the calipers for binding. Finally, examine the subframe, sills, and rear arches for corrosion, as low-mileage city cars of this type are prone to surface rust from short trips and standing rather than high-speed salt exposure.
