2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LP65 PVU

The 2016 FIAT 500 has a mixed MOT history, with recent issues indicating recurring mechanical concerns. The most recent MOT on 2026-02-06 shows both a passed and failed outcome for the same date, which is unusual. The passed entry notes front inner brake discs worn, pitted, or scored (but not seriously weakened), a slightly worn offside rear shock bush, and rear axle corrosion. The failed entry lists front service brakes excessively binding, worn front inner brake discs, and multiple shock absorber bush issues. This inconsistency may reflect incomplete repairs or conflicting test results, but the presence of repeated suspension and braking defects is concerning. Recurring issues include brake disc wear , shock absorber bush degradation , and corrosion . The 2025-02-05 failed MOT also highlighted a fractured offside front coil spring, a more serious structural defect. While the 2024 MOT was passed with a minor registration plate issue, the 2025 and 2026 entries show a pattern of escalating suspension and braking problems. This suggests the vehicle’s condition may be deteriorating, particularly in critical safety components like brakes and suspension. The vehicle’s mileage of 50,736 miles (about 5,074 miles per year) is low for its age, which could indicate light use or long periods of inactivity.
