2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LM16 ASU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows the first signs of suspension component degradation. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 65,234 miles identified light misting of oil on both the offside front and nearside rear shock absorbers. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the beginning of seal wear and marks a shift away from the clean records seen in 2024. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a low-mileage urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between September 2022 at 50,065 miles and March 2024 at 60,054 miles, during which the car covered roughly 10,000 miles in seventeen months. Since then, the usage has slowed significantly, with only 5,180 miles recorded over the final year. This low frequency suggests the car is used for short trips rather than high-distance motorway commuting. A buyer should physically inspect the shock absorbers immediately to determine if the oil misting has progressed to a leak that would require imminent replacement. The history from 2021 shows a period of neglect regarding consumables, including worn tyres, a failed bulb, and pitted brake discs. While these appear to have been addressed given the clean 2024 results, the previous pitting on the discs suggests the braking system is prone to corrosion if the vehicle sits for long periods. Check the current tyre depth and evenness across all wheels to ensure the previous issues with edge wear have not returned.
