2021 Fiat 500E Icon Electricity · FE71 LYR

The vehicle currently presents a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT pass on 26 May 2026 at 30,739 miles. The maintenance trend shows a marked improvement after a significant mechanical failure in October 2025. While the previous test indicated multiple critical defects, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects suggests that the necessary repairs were carried out to bring the car back to standard operating condition. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-use urban driving, averaging approximately 6,148 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 6,530 miles between the December 2024 test at 21,869 miles and the October 2025 failure at 28,399 miles. This interval shows regular usage, which generally prevents issues related to stagnant components seizing, though the low overall mileage means the vehicle remains relatively fresh despite its five-year age. The failure on 29 October 2025 reveals specific past issues with the front suspension geometry. The tester flagged serious deterioration of both the nearside and offside front lower arm rear bushes, which also prevented a valid brake performance test. Additionally, all four tyres were at or near the legal limit with evidence of edge wear. A buyer should verify that the front suspension arms were replaced with high-quality components and that the wheel alignment was corrected to prevent further premature tyre degradation. Given the previous inability to test the brakes due to worn bushes, a physical inspection of the braking system is advisable to ensure no binding calipers or excessive play remains. The current state of the tyres should also be checked for uniform depth and any signs of the uneven wear noted in the 2025 record. If these mechanical repairs were addressed properly, the vehicle appears to be well-maintained for its age.
