2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FM17 DHN

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently rated as Pass , but the maintenance trend is improving , as indicated by the most recent test on 2026-05-15. This test passed at 31,426 miles, demonstrating that the car is still in acceptable condition despite the significant mileage accumulated since the 2025-05-09 failure. The improvement is driven by the fact that the most recent MOT shows no major structural defects, whereas the prior failure at 27,229 miles was due to a specific wear pattern in the upper strut pin and bush, which has since resolved. The mileage pattern reveals a gap in the accumulation of 31,426 miles between the 2025-05-09 test and the 2026-05-15 test. This gap suggests the vehicle may have been maintained for a period of time, possibly due to long periods of standing or lighter driving habits, rather than a continuous, rapid increase in wear. The data is relatively clean, with only minor consumable wear on the tyres and suspension components, which aligns with the overall Pass rating. Given the recent failure at 27,229 miles and the subsequent improvement to Pass, the buyer should inspect the suspension, brakes, and suspension bushings for structural integrity and wear. The most recent MOT indicates a failure in the upper strut pin and bush, which is a critical component for the car's handling and stability. While the lower coil spring and front brake discs were also checked, the lack of corrosion or cracking in these components suggests they are still in good condition. The buyer must verify that the suspension bushings are not excessively worn, as this could indicate a future risk of the car slipping or losing control.
