2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FX68 FWF

The 2018 FIAT 500 presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile through its MOT history. The most recent test, conducted on 29 September 2025 at 15,755 miles, resulted in a pass, though the tester flagged both front inner tyres as worn close to legal limits and worn on the edges. This is a minor consumable defect rather than a structural or mechanical failure, and the trend across the preceding four annual tests from 2021 to 2024 shows a completely clean record with zero defects recorded. The maintenance picture is therefore one of consistent, low-defect ownership with only a small lapse in tyre condition appearing at the latest test. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of very light use. The vehicle has covered just 15,755 miles over approximately eight years, averaging roughly 1,969 miles per year. The annual increments between tests are remarkably consistent: 1,335 miles between September 2021 and September 2022, 1,154 miles between 2022 and 2023, 1,241 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 1,193 miles between 2024 and 2025. There are no sudden spikes or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings, and the recorded mileage aligns logically with the test dates. This pattern suggests the car has been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods, which is a positive indicator for mechanical health. The edge wear pattern on both front inner tyres flagged in the September 2025 test is worth noting. Inner edge wear on a FIAT 500 typically points to toe misalignment or worn suspension bushes, though on a vehicle this light it may simply reflect repeated low-speed urban driving and tight parking manoeuvres. A buyer should inspect the front suspension bushes, track rod ends, and wishbone joints for play, and verify whether a wheel alignment has been carried out recently. The tyres themselves will need replacement before the next MOT, which is a straightforward consumable expense. Beyond the tyre wear, there are no recurring mechanical or structural defects in the record to raise concern. The brake system, exhaust emissions, steering, and structural integrity have all passed without advisory across five consecutive tests. A prospective buyer should still carry out a physical inspection of the underside for corrosion, check the condition of the rear brakes which can seize on lightly used city cars, and verify that the exhaust and catalytic converter are in good order. Overall, this is a well-maintained, low-mileage example with only minor tyre wear to address.
