2013 Fiat 500 C 1.2L Petrol · LC63 FPD

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with a clear trend toward a defect-free status in recent years. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 was passed without any defects or advisories, mirroring the clean result from the previous year. This follows a period of minor wear-and-tear advisories, suggesting that the vehicle is currently in a stable mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 29,917 miles is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,301 miles per year. Such a low rate of accumulation suggests the car has experienced long periods of inactivity or very limited use. Mechanically, this typically means that while engine and gearbox wear is minimal, there is a higher risk of degradation to rubber seals and the development of surface corrosion on brake components due to lack of regular use. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the braking system and front suspension, as these components were flagged in previous years. The 2022 and 2023 records noted pitted and scored front brake discs and a damaged nearside brake cable. During the test drive, feel for any pedal judder or vibration under braking and ensure the handbrake engages firmly and holds the vehicle on an incline without slipping. Further attention is required for the front Macpherson struts, which were previously noted for worn pins or bushes. Listen for audible knocks or clunks when navigating speed bumps or uneven pavement, and check for any instability or pull in the steering. Verifying the integrity of these suspension linkages is essential to ensure the vehicle maintains its handling characteristics and structural stability.
