2020 Fiat 500 Lounge Mhev 1.0L Petrol · LM70 FZW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a consistent pattern of neglect regarding basic consumable items. While the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 16,434 miles resulted in a pass, it followed an immediate failure on the same day for multiple defects including a TPMS fault, exposed cords on a front tyre, and a damaged rear sidewall. This trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by the MOT testing process rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 16,434 miles over six years, the car has covered very low mileage, averaging approximately 2,700 miles per year. This low usage suggests short-distance trips which can lead to secondary issues such as brake corrosion or battery discharge. The data gap between the October 2023 test at 9,074 miles and the October 2024 test at 12,708 miles shows an accumulation of roughly 3,600 miles, yet the condition of the tyres remained a concern despite the low distance traveled. A buyer must inspect the suspension geometry and alignment, as the record shows recurring inner edge wear on the offside front tyre in 2024 and various edge-related failures in 2023. Persistent inner wear often indicates poorly misaligned tracking or worn suspension bushes that will rapidly degrade tyres. Furthermore, the repeated instances of run-flat damage and sidewall bulging indicate the vehicle has been driven on low pressure, which compromises the structural integrity of the tyre carcasses. Check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust, given the low-mileage profile which often leads to oxidation on components that sit infrequently.
