2022 Fiat 500E RED Electricity · GF12 PLF

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026, but the report highlights a growing list of advisories that suggest a downward trend in the condition of certain consumables. A recurring mechanical pattern is emerging with the front suspension. In May 2025, only the nearside front suspension arm pin or bush was noted as worn. By May 2026, this issue persisted and expanded to include the offside front suspension arm as well. While these are not yet failures, the fact that both sides are now showing wear indicates a progressive deterioration of the front end. The tyre history is also a point of concern. Last year, the front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, suggesting standard road use. However, the most recent test notes that both rear tyres are now damaged, cracking, or perishing. The recorded mileage of 21,144 over four years is low, averaging around 5,286 miles per year. While low mileage generally reduces drivetrain wear, the presence of perishing and cracking tyres often suggests the vehicle has suffered from periods of standing or under-use, which allows the rubber to degrade regardless of the tread depth.
