2021 Fiat 500 Lounge Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FE21 TYK

The vehicle presents as mechanically roadworthy, with the most recent MOT test dated 12 March 2026 confirming no major failures or dangerous defects. However, the condition of the front brake discs remains a concern, having been noted as worn, pitted or scored in both the 2025 and 2026 tests. These conditions were not considered seriously weakened, but they indicate progressive deterioration requiring attention. The 2026 test also identified a minor advisory regarding rear brake binding, which may be linked to the continuing brake wear trends. The mileage progression shows consistent annual usage averaging around 11,400 miles, aligning with typical usage for a five-year-old vehicle. There is a notable gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests, with a 13,453-mile increase over twelve months, suggesting either a period of intensive use or a potential discrepancy in recorded mileage. The 2024 test showed nearside rear tyre wear close to legal limits, which may have contributed to the continued degradation observed in subsequent inspections. Brake system components require particular scrutiny, especially the front inner and outer discs, which have shown progressive wear since 2025. The rear brake binding flagged in 2026 could indicate issues with caliper operation or wear in the brake callipers. Suspension components should also be checked for bush wear or damage, particularly given the repeated brake-related advisories. Tyre condition should be verified, with particular attention to the rear nearside tyre, which was noted as worn in 2024. Structural integrity appears unaffected by the MOT history, though corrosion should be inspected visually, especially in areas prone to moisture exposure such as wheel arches and underbody panels.
