2011 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · GP11 FUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 23, 2026, at 67,660 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The car failed the initial test on that same day due to critical front brake pads measured at 1.1mm and a rough nearside front wheel bearing. While these specific issues were rectified to achieve the pass, the history indicates that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when an MOT failure is imminent rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between tests. At 15 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,660 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,500 miles per year. This low usage suggests light travel but also implies long periods of inactivity. Between February 2024 (62,340 miles) and March 2025 (66,417 miles), the vehicle covered only over 4,000 miles. Such low mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components regardless of mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the recurring reports of perished tyres and worn suspension bushes found throughout the record. A buyer must scrutinise the front end suspension and braking systems during a physical inspection. The tester repeatedly flagged worn offside front suspension bushes and rear shock absorbers across 2024 and 2025, suggesting the rubber components are nearing the end of life. The nearside front wheel bearing identified in 2026 should be verified to ensure the replacement was completed to high standards. Additionally, the frequent failures for perishing tyres and exposed cords suggest a history of neglecting basic fitment items, necessitating a thorough check for cracked sidewalls or uneven wear on all remaining tyres.
