2019 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · GD19 HCZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 45,045 miles was a pass, it occurred just one day after a failure due to mechanical wear and consumable neglect. The trend shows that the owner waits for the MOT test to identify faults, particularly regarding tyres and brakes, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual inspections. At 45,045 miles over seven years, the car has averaged approximately 6,435 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate city usage. The mileage accumulation is steady between tests, with roughly 8,600 miles driven between November 2023 and November 2024, and another 9,500 miles covered in the year leading up to the 2025 test. This consistent use suggests the drivetrain is likely under moderate stress, though the records indicate that components are being run prematurely. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The November 2025 failure flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, and the previous year's failure highlighted critically thin front brake pads and pitted discs. These recurring issues suggest that components are being utilised until the point of failure. Additionally, the presence of a non-excessive engine oil leak noted in late 2025 requires a visual check of the engine seals and sump gasket to ensure the leak remains stable and does not worsen. The tyre history also shows a pattern of neglect regarding safety. In both 2024 and 2025, front tyres were found at or below the legal limit with uneven wear patterns. The 2023 record also noted perishing rubber on the rear tyres. Any prospective buyer should verify the age and condition of all four tyres to ensure they are not structurally out or suffering from misalignment, despite the relatively low mileage.
