2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LS15 HHK

The vehicle presents a strong state of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass in January 2026 at 55,099 miles. The maintenance trend is clearly improving compared to 2022, as the car has shown zero recorded defects or advisories across the last three annual tests. This suggests that the previous owner addressed the identified suspension issues and subsequently maintained the vehicle to a high standard. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old car, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a visible increase in usage between September 2023 and January 2025, where the vehicle covered nearly 10,000 miles in sixteen months. However, the rate has slowed back to a more consistent level toward the most recent test. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, though it can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or flat-spotting if the vehicle sits for long periods between journeys. A buyer should still physically inspect the rear suspension to ensure the corrosion noted in October 2022 has been properly rectified. The tester previously flagged corroded coil springs and a leaking offside rear shock absorber, and while these are no longer listed, a visual check is necessary to confirm no new rust is forming on the mounting points. Given the low mileage, also check the tyres for age-related cracking in the sidewalls, as rubber often age faster than they wear down on infrequently driven vehicles.
