2022 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · EO22 WFC

A pattern of edge wear on both front tyres was the only flagged concern in the recorded MOT history, while the most recent test on 2026-04-08 returned a clean pass with no advisories. Across the two recorded tests, the vehicle has not failed any MOT, but the earlier 2025-04-14 examination drew advisories on the nearside and offside front tyres for being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. The fact that both front tyres were flagged simultaneously is a meaningful indicator of an underlying geometry or suspension issue rather than ordinary tread wear, and a buyer should not dismiss this simply because the car ultimately passed. With two MOT tests recorded and around 22,265 miles covered over approximately four years, the vehicle has been used at roughly 5,500 miles per year, which is a low annual accumulation for a car of this age. The gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests is consistent with normal annual MOT scheduling rather than any extended period off the road, so the mileage progression appears steady. Low annual mileage of this kind generally means reduced wear on major drivetrain and brake components, but it also warrants attention to items that suffer from standing time rather than use, particularly brake discs corroding on the inner faces, surface deterioration of tyres through age rather than mileage, and the condition of the 12V battery and hybrid system components on this mild-hybrid variant. Given the recorded front-tyre edge wear advisories, a prospective buyer should place particular emphasis on the suspension and steering geometry during any inspection. On a test drive, listen for knocking or clonking from the front suspension over bumps and uneven surfaces, particularly from the lower wishbone bushes, anti-roll bar links, and drop links, as worn bushes commonly cause the inner or outer edge wear pattern noted on the MOT record. Check for uneven steering self-centring, pulling to one side under braking, or vibration through the steering wheel, any of which could point to worn front suspension arms, top mounts, or tracking issues still unresolved. Inspect the front tyres physically for feathering on the tread blocks, uneven shoulder wear, or one-sided scrubbing, and confirm that any replacement set has been fitted in pairs and balanced correctly. The braking system should also be examined closely given the low mileage, as discs on lightly used vehicles are prone to corroding on the working surfaces and seizing in the calipers. On the test drive, feel for any judder or pulsing through the brake pedal, which would suggest warped or corroded front discs, and listen for any grinding or scraping that might indicate a binding caliper or worn pads. Because this is a Dolcevita MHEV variant, verify that the mild-hybrid system functions correctly with a smooth stop-start transition and no warning lights on the dashboard, and check that the 12V battery in the boot area is securely mounted and free from corrosion at the terminals. Finally, examine the underside of the vehicle for any corrosion on suspension components, brake pipes, or the subframe mounting points, even though none was flagged at the MOT, as a physical inspection remains the only reliable check beyond the recorded test data.
