2021 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · FE71 LYT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 1,2026, at 14,493 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable, the immediate failure on that same day indicates a lapse in pre-test inspections. The tester flagged both nearside and offside windscreen wipers as ineffective alongside pitted front brake discs. The resolution of these faults suggests the owner only addressed defects after a formal failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,900 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between October 2024 at 9,817 miles and September 2025 at 14,481 miles, where the car covered only 4,664 miles in eleven months. This low-frequency use often contributes to the specific issues observed on the brake discs, as lack of consistent friction can lead to surface corrosion and pitting when a vehicle remains stationary for long periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front braking assembly to ensure that the pitting and scoring noted in the April 2026 test have been properly rectified with new discs and pads. Given the low mileage, it is also necessary to check for rubber cracking on tyres and suspension bushes, as these components age through time regardless of distance. The wiper blades should be tested for streaking to ensure adequate visibility, as the previous failure proved they did not clear the glass effectively.
