2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LP16 AXF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. The most recent test on 6 May 2026 at 64,457 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional windscreen washer, low headlamp aim, and a damaged nearside front tyre. While the car passed immediately after these rectifications, the history suggests the owner only addresses faults once flagged by the MOT tester rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 64,457 miles over ten years, the car has averaged approximately 6,446 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-use patterns. The mileage progression shows a steady usage pattern, with roughly 2,700 miles covered between March 2024 and May 2025, and another 3,241 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This low mileage generally limits mechanical wear on drivetrain components but increases the risk of rubber degradation and tyre perishing as seen in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the March 2024 test at 58,986 miles flagged perished ball joint dust covers and play in the track rod end. Although these were repaired to achieve passing, the recurring nature of rubber-related failures suggests components are reaching the end of their life. The 2025 advisories regarding cracking and perishing on multiple tyres indicate the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which warrants a thorough check of the sidewalls for dry rot and the condition of fluid-related hoses.
