2012 Fiat Qubo 1.2L Diesel · GF12 EFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a maintenance trend showing clear improvement after a period of recurring mechanical issues. The most recent test on 28 May 2026 at 49,225 miles recorded no defects, indicating that previously identified faults in the steering and suspension have likely been addressed. This follows a clean pass in June 2025, suggesting the current owner is proactive in resolving the technical failures that characterized in earlier years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. This low usage is consistent across the decade, moving from 25,553 miles in 2015 to just 49,225 miles in 2026. While this low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine, the data suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods. This leads to age-related degradation, as evidenced by multiple entries regarding perishing rubber and gradual component failure rather than distance-based wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the power steering system, as records show persistent seepage from the rack boot and steering arm noted between 2022 and 2024. While the 2026 test was clear, the history of fluid loss necessitates a physical check for active leaks. The suspension also warrants attention; the vehicle previously suffered from worn upper shock absorber bushes and a fractured offside coil spring in 2021. Given the low mileage, the buyer must also look for dry cracking in tyre sidewalls and perished bushes, as the record frequently flags these issues as recurring problems since 2016.
