2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · EU68 GZC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding rubber components and braking. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 29,342 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory for a nearside rear suspension arm bush. This represents a progression of the suspension wear issues seen over the previous three years. The failure in February 2025 due to an inoperative driver's airbag indicates a significant safety oversight that was only rectified immediately before the passing test. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,668 miles per year. This suggests the car has sat for long periods. Such low usage explains the specific types of degradation recorded, such as pitted brake discs and perishing tyres. Between October 2022 at 15,072 miles and March 2024 at 20,630 miles, the car covered only 5,558 miles, which is consistent with infrequent use that leads to drying and cracking of rubber components rather than mechanical mileage wear. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the front suspension assembly, as the record consistently flags worn arm bushes from 2022 through to 2026. The recurring mention of pitted and scored brake discs suggests the braking system suffers from surface corrosion due to inactivity rather than heavy use. Furthermore, the history of cracking across all four tyres in 2024 indicates that the age of the rubber is a greater concern than the tread depth. Verify the current tyres for further sidewall cracking and check that the airbag repair was professionally completed to ensure the safety system is functional.
