2013 Fiat 500L 0.9L Petrol · LC13 XUS

The 2013 Fiat 500L passed its most recent MOT on 26 May 2026 at 121,422 miles but had three advisory issues including rear brake disc wear and an oil leak. The vehicle shows a concerning deterioration pattern with multiple suspension failures. The May 2026 failure included both front lower suspension arm bushes worn excessively, following earlier warnings about inner suspension bushes in September 2025. Brake problems are accumulating with rear discs showing wear, scoring and pitting across multiple tests. The parking brake has persistent adjustment and travel issues requiring attention. The exhaust system continues deteriorating with repeated warnings about central exhaust damage, skin looseness, and minor gas leaks since 2023. The condition trend is clearly worsening with increasingly serious failures. The May 2026 test failed due to multiple critical items including suspension, brake, and parking brake defects alongside ongoing oil and exhaust issues. At 121,422 miles over 13 years, the annual average of 9,340 miles suggests normal usage patterns without obvious signs of hard use or prolonged standing. The suspension failures represent the most immediate safety concern requiring urgent attention before purchase.
