2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FV17 TYZ

The vehicle holds a valid MOT certificate until July 2027, following a pass on 15 July 2026 at 37,969 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable components, particularly tyres and braking hardware. While the car consistently passes, the presence of advisories for corroded and cracked brake cable sleeves in the most recent test indicates that basic preventative maintenance is being deferred until the point of inspection. Accumulating 37,969 miles over nine years results in an average of approximately 4,200 miles per annum, which is low for a city car of this type. The history shows a period of inactivity or very light use during the 2020 extension, followed by steady usage. This low mileage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals, as evidenced by the repeated advisories for tyre perishing and cracking noted between 2024 and 2025. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system, specifically the rear cables identified in the latest test, to ensure the corrosion has not compromised the inner mechanism. The history of worn and pitted front brake discs, which caused a failure in 2021, suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time stationary or been driven in a manner that encourages surface corrosion on friction surfaces. Inspect the inner edges of all tyres for uneven wear patterns, as this has been a persistent advisory throughout the vehicle's life, potentially pointing to underlying alignment issues that remain unaddressed.
