2021 Fiat 500E Icon Electricity · FE71 LYP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on May 27, 2026 at 14,680 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but shows a pattern of reactive repairs where faults are addressed only after a failure. While the most recent test identified a minor advisory regarding tyre condition, the history of failures in previous years suggests the vehicle is maintained primarily when prompted by annual inspections rather than through a proactive preventative schedule. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,936 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between December 2024 and May 2025, where the car covered only 330 miles in five months. This low-use pattern explains the lack of wear on drivetrain and braking components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading. The 2026 advisory for cracked or perished tyres is a direct consequence of these stationary periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, given that the December 2024 failure flagged a nearside front suspension arm likely to fail. Although this was rectified for the subsequent test, a physical check of the arm and ball joints is necessary to ensure no further play has developed. The wiper blades also require immediate attention, as the vehicle failed in 2025 due to poor clearing, indicating the rubber may have perished from age despite the low mileage. Finally, verify the rear tyres for sidewall cracking to prevent structural failure before the next MOT advisory.
