2011 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · HE10 SLD

The vehicle currently holds a PASSED MOT record from 2025-10-24 at 71,732 miles, indicating that the most recent inspection was performed well before the current date. This suggests the maintenance trend is stable, as the vehicle has not experienced a significant drop-off in performance since the 2025-10-24 test. However, the overall roadworthiness remains in question due to a complex history of failures spanning from 2023 to 2025. The mileage accumulation relative to the vehicle's age presents a distinct pattern of rapid wear. The record shows a significant gap between the 2025-10-24 PASSED test and the 2025-10-16 FAILED test, which occurred at 71,630 miles. This gap of approximately 102 miles indicates that the vehicle experienced a period of very low usage or standing idle, followed by a steep acceleration in mileage that accelerated wear on critical components. The 2025-10-16 failure was driven by an exhaust Lambda reading outside the specified limits (8.2.1.2 (c)), suggesting that the vehicle is currently operating at a speed where the emission system cannot meet the 8.2.1.2 (d) requirement, a condition that would likely not occur if the engine were running at a more appropriate speed. In summary, the vehicle's mechanical condition is not stable or improving; rather, the maintenance trend is deteriorating. The history of passing tests at 71,732 miles followed by a series of failures at 71,630, 65,950, and 62,688 miles demonstrates that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained. The recurring faults include significant fluid leaks in the suspension, structural corrosion in the subframe and rear suspension, pitted and corroded brake discs and pads, and a split or perishable rear pivot bush. These issues are not minor consumables but represent serious structural risks that require immediate professional assessment and repair to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy.
