2021 Fiat 500 C Lounge Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FE21 TYX

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 2026-03-12 MOT test, though with advisories regarding front brake condition and tyre wear. Both front brake discs showed slight pitting, classified as not seriously weakened, and the service brakes were noted as fluctuating but not excessively. These issues were present in prior tests and suggest ongoing minor wear rather than a sudden deterioration. The most recent test passed with these conditions documented, indicating no immediate safety risk, although continued monitoring is advised. The mileage progression shows a consistent annual average of approximately 3,536 miles over five years, which is unusually low for a 2021 model. The last recorded test at 13,787 miles occurred in March 2025, followed by a gap until the 2026 test at 17,678 miles. This represents a 3,891-mile increase over a 12-month period, suggesting either infrequent use or a potential discrepancy in mileage logging. The sparse testing intervals and lack of intermediate records make it difficult to assess long-term maintenance trends beyond the most recent entry. Front brake discs have consistently shown signs of wear since 2024, with slight pitting documented in every test. This pattern indicates minimal but persistent degradation, possibly due to driving conditions or brake pad material. Tyre wear has also been a recurring concern, particularly with the nearside front tyre showing edge wear and the offside front tyre displaying tread cracking. These issues point to possible alignment or suspension misalignment, or prolonged use without regular rotation. Buyers should inspect the brake system for continued pitting and check for any binding or uneven wear on the brake callipers. Structural integrity remains unflagged in the MOT history, and there are no reports of corrosion or emission-related failures. However, the repeated advisories on brake discs and tyres suggest a need for careful in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel alignment. Wiper blade effectiveness was previously failed in 2025, so replacement should be considered. Overall, while the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards, the maintenance history reflects inconsistent attention to consumable components.
