2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LR63 BYA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT pass in March 2026 at 84,270 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of reactive repair following a significant failure in early 2025. While the most recent test indicates no immediate defects, the history reveals a pattern of neglected consumables and components that suggest the owner only addresses issues once they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. There is a notable period of activity with over 9,000 miles covered between April 2025 and March 2026. This low annual mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it can also lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts over time, as seen in the suspension records. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension geometry and alignment. The record shows repeated tyre wear on the edges across 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension arm bushes. The 2025 failure for deteriorated ball joint dust covers on both sides is a critical point, as these seals protect grease and should be checked for any play in the ball joints to prevent a sudden steering failure. The nearside front door mechanism also requires scrutiny, as it previously failed the test for being inoperable from the outside. Given the recurring tyre-related faults, the buyer must also inspect for uneven wear on the current tyres and verify that a professional alignment was actually performed following the repairs noted in early 2025.
