2012 Fiat 500 C 0.9L Petrol · LG62 OPK

The 2026-06-17 test was a PASSED inspection at 62,835 miles, confirming the vehicle meets the current roadworthiness standard. However, the maintenance history indicates a deteriorating trend, with the most recent failure on 2025-12-29 at 62,830 miles. This failure was triggered by a severe structural defect in the offside front tyre, a bulge caused by inner sidewall failure, and an excessively worn rear bush that was subsequently deboned. The sequence of failures suggests that basic upkeep was skipped, and the vehicle is currently in a state of serious structural risk. The mileage pattern reveals a significant gap in the vehicle's history, as the first recorded MOT was taken on 2025-12-30 at 62,835 miles. This creates a 12-month delay between the most recent and earliest tests, which is unusual for a 2012 model. The rapid accumulation of 62,835 miles over just two years suggests that ownership was likely minimal or that the vehicle was driven for very few hours, leading to accelerated wear on critical components like brakes and suspension. While the mileage is low relative to the vehicle's age, the consistent failure of the tyre and bush indicates that the owner may have neglected routine inspections, allowing wear to reach dangerous levels. Given the recurring faults in the offside front tyre, rear bush, and coil spring, a buyer must inspect the vehicle for structural integrity and corrosion. The tyre bulge and bush debonding indicate that the suspension system is compromised and may not absorb road vibrations effectively. The coil spring corrosion and brake disc wear suggest that the braking system is not fully functional, potentially causing the vehicle to fail at speed. A thorough visual inspection is required to identify any rust on the chassis or undercarriage, as well as to assess the overall structural integrity of the frame and suspension components.
