2021 Fiat 500 Lounge Mhev 1.0L Hybrid electric · FE21 TYW

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness record, having passed all three annual MOT inspections without failure. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 17,468 miles resulted in a pass, though the tester issued an advisory regarding the offside rear tyre due to surface cracking and perishing. This indicates that while the car remains compliant with safety standards, the rubber compounds are beginning to show signs of age-related degradation despite the low mileage. The recorded mileage of 17,468 over five years confirms a light usage pattern of approximately 3,500 miles per annum. The progression is consistent, with 5,517 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025, followed by 3,589 miles in the subsequent six-month period leading to the September 2025 test. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has been used regularly for short trips rather than left standing for extended periods, which is generally favourable for the health of the mild-hybrid battery system and engine seals. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the recent advisory suggests the current set may be nearing the end of its service life due to environmental exposure rather than tread wear. Given the low mileage, the braking system and suspension components should remain in good condition, but you should check the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by infrequent use. Verify that the tyre pressures are correct and inspect the sidewalls for any further signs of perishing that could compromise structural integrity during motorway driving.
