2019 Fiat 500 Star 1.2L Petrol · GC19 AHA

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT test on 2026-05-19 due to issues with front brake pads and discs, as well as suspension components. These failures indicate a worsening trend in critical mechanical systems compared to the previous tests. The nearside front suspension arm bush and offside front suspension arm ball joint were excessively worn, suggesting ongoing neglect in routine maintenance. The vehicle's mileage of 43,464 miles over approximately 7 years translates to around 6,209 miles annually, which is within a typical range for its age. However, the significant gap between the 2024-05-21 test at 35,808 miles and the 2025-05-19 test at 39,477 miles, followed by another substantial jump to 43,464 miles in 2026, raises concerns about the vehicle's usage pattern. The rapid increase in mileage, especially coupled with the suspension and brake issues, suggests that the vehicle may have been driven extensively without proper maintenance. A potential buyer should closely inspect the front suspension, paying particular attention to the condition of the shock absorbers and suspension bushes. The front brakes require thorough examination, including checking the thickness of the brake pads and the condition of the brake discs for signs of wear or damage. Additionally, the tyres should be evaluated for tread depth and general wear, as they were noted to be close to the legal limits in the most recent test. Structural integrity, particularly around the suspension joints, should also be assessed to ensure there are no signs of excessive movement or wear that could compromise safety.
