2020 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · KX20 KWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 1, 2026, at 55,678 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than proactive care. The car failed just one month prior on March 30, 2026, at 55,651 miles due to insufficient parking brake efficiency. While the mechanical issue was seemingly rectified, the recurring nature of minor failures suggests that defects are only addressed when an MOT test demands. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,280 miles per year. Between the April 2024 test at 41,945 miles and the April 2025 test at 49,330 miles, the car covered 7,385 miles. The subsequent interval saw 6,347 miles covered leading to the March 2026 failure. This stable, low-range usage generally limits excessive wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer must scrutinise the parking brake system in person, as the failure in March 2026 indicates either worn cables, seized mechanisms, or poor adjustment. The record also highlights a history of neglected windscreen damage, with chips or cracks noted in 2024, 2025, and 2026. More critically, the perishing of both rear tyres flagged in the most recent 2026 tests suggests the rubber is aging and cracking despite the relatively low mileage, necessitating an immediate inspection of tyre sidewalls and structural integrity.
