2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FE66 VBZ

The vehicle's roadworthiness status appears stable following the successful MOT on 28 October 2025 at 101,875 miles, though the record shows a recurring trend of suspension wear. While the most recent test passed, the vehicle failed earlier that same day due to a high headlamp aim and a twisted offside front brake hose. The presence of these issues, alongside previous failures, suggests that while the car is currently compliant, maintenance tends to be reactive rather than preventative. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per year. The data shows a steady increase from 99,877 miles in October 2023 to 101,875 miles in October 2025. This pattern indicates regular usage rather than long periods of inactivity. The relatively low mileage gain between the June 2024 and October 2025 tests suggests the vehicle has seen moderate use over the last eighteen months. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front suspension components. The Macpherson strut top bushes were flagged for wear in both the June 2024 failure and the October 2025 test. Although these passed as advisories in the most recent inspection, the repetition of this fault indicates the suspension components are reaching the end of their service life. The twisted brake hose noted in October 2025 also warrants a physical check to ensure no further degradation or binding is occurring in the braking system. The exterior condition also shows signs of minor wear, specifically the damaged offside driver's door handle and the stone chip in the windscreen. While these are non-mechanical issues, they reflect a general level of cosmetic upkeep. Beyond the suspension and brake hose, the vehicle's history lacks reports of structural corrosion or significant exhaust emissions issues, which is a positive indicator for a car of this age and mileage.
