2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · GN65 OKG

The 2025 MOT (45,365 miles) highlights worsening front brake and suspension issues compared to prior tests. Front brake discs are now worn, pitted, or scored, and pads are thinning, indicating progressive wear. Suspension arm bushes and pin wear are also noted, suggesting ongoing degradation of critical safety components. This contrasts with the 2024 MOT, which flagged similar but less severe suspension wear and minor strut mounting damage. The 2023 MOT showed non-critical exhaust and shock absorber issues, while 2022 and 2021 tests had no recorded defects. The vehicle’s mileage (4,124 miles/year over 11 years) is unusually low for its age, which may imply infrequent use or prolonged storage. While lower mileage can reduce wear on drivetrain and brake components, it may also increase risks of corrosion, seized joints, or neglected maintenance. The recurring suspension and brake issues suggest age-related deterioration rather than excessive use, but the trend from 2024 to 2025 indicates worsening conditions. Buyers should prioritise inspecting front brake discs and pads for severe wear, checking suspension arm bushes and ball joints for play or damage, and verifying strut mountings for structural integrity. The exhaust system should also be examined for loose clamps or corrosion.
