2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · KW66 PDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding suspension and tyre condition. While the car passed its test on 13 May 2026 at 56,496 miles, the failure just 10 miles prior reveals significant neglect in key wear areas. The tester identified excessively worn front suspension arm bushes on both sides, representing a progression from the minor wear noted in the 2025 test at 50,597 miles. At 56,496 miles, this ten-year-old Fiat reflects a low average annual of approximately 5,650 miles per year. The data indicates consistent usage patterns between 2023 and 2025, where the vehicle covered roughly 5,700 miles annually without recorded defects. However, the jump of 5,899 miles between June 2025 and May 2026, coupled with the appearance of multiple faults, suggests that the low mileage has not prevented the rubber components from degrading due to age and environmental exposure rather than purely mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the arm bushes have been replaced following the May 2026 failure. The record also flags all four tyres as being near the legal limit or showing signs of perishing and cracking on the front pair. This indicates the vehicle is due for a full set of tyres immediately regardless of remaining tread depth. The buyer should also check for signs of uneven tyre wear, as the previously worn bushes often cause alignment issues that prematurely scrub tyres.
