2021 Fiat 500E LA Prima Electric · KT21 UML

The 2021 Fiat 500e La Prima currently holds a valid MOT, having passed its most recent test on 27 June 2025 at 21,699 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is broadly stable and recently improving. The preceding test on 26 June 2025, just one day earlier at 21,693 miles, failed on a single item: an excessively worn offside front suspension arm pin or bush. That defect was rectified before the pass the following day, indicating the previous owner addressed the issue promptly rather than allowing it to persist. The 2024 test on 17 July at 16,713 miles also passed cleanly, suggesting the suspension wear developed relatively late in the vehicle's life rather than being a chronic, neglected problem. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old electric city car. At 21,699 miles recorded on 27 June 2025, the vehicle has averaged roughly 4,340 miles per year since new. The jump from 16,713 miles in July 2024 to 21,693 miles by June 2025 represents an accumulation of approximately 4,980 miles in under twelve months, which is a modest increase consistent with regular urban use rather than sustained high-mileage driving. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data. The sparse but clean record between 2024 and 2025, with only the one suspension advisory resolved immediately, points to a vehicle that has been lightly used and reasonably maintained. A buyer should still carry out a focused physical inspection despite the clean recent pass. The offside front suspension arm pin or bush wear flagged in June 2025 warrants a close check of the nearside equivalent and all front suspension bushes, ball joints, and drop link condition, as uneven wear on one side often hints at imminently similar deterioration on the other. Given the low mileage and city-car usage pattern, the brake system deserves attention; electric vehicles with regenerative braking can suffer from caliper seizure and disc corrosion through underuse, so a road test should confirm no binding or uneven braking. Inspect the underside for any corrosion to mounting points and subframes, particularly if the car has stood for extended periods between uses. Tyre condition should also be verified, as low-mileage vehicles frequently develop flat-spotting or sidewall perishing from prolonged static loads rather than tread wear from distance covered.
