2020 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · GD69 SXZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While it passed the test in February 2026 at 81,641 miles, the record shows a persistent pattern of neglecting consumables until they reach failure limits. The trend remains stable in terms that faults are addressed only once they trigger a failure or become critical advisories, suggesting the owner performs minimum necessary maintenance. At 81,641 miles over six years, this Fiat has averaged approximately 13,600 miles per year. This high usage for a small city car accelerates the wear on suspension and braking components. Between February 2024 at 55,728 miles and February 2025 at 69,790 miles, the car covered over 14,000 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation explains the degradation of the shock absorbers and brake pads noted during that testing period. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front suspension. The record shows the nearside front shock absorber suffered a serious leak in 2025 at 69,790 miles, following light misting on both front units for several years prior. You should verify that these were replaced with high-quality components and check for new leaks. The recurring issue of tyres worn to the legal limit or showing structural damage across multiple tests indicates poor alignment management or a failure to replace rubber in good time. The braking system also requires attention as front brake pads were flagged as thin in early 2025. Given the high mileage, check the state of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear. Because the MOT history consistently lists advisories for tyres and worn components, the next owner should budget for a full set of tyres and a comprehensive service immediately upon purchase.
