2023 Fiat 500E RED Electric · MH72 PCF

The most recent MOT inspection conducted on 16 February 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable and positive maintenance trend for the vehicle, suggesting that all essential safety and environmental components, including lighting, braking, and structural integrity, were in good working order at the time of testing. For a vehicle of this age, a clean MOT record is a strong indicator that there are no immediate mechanical failures or significant safety concerns regarding its primary roadworthiness components. The recorded mileage of 10,290 miles indicates a low annual usage rate of approximately 3,430 miles per year. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the suspension bushes, coil springs, and drivetrain, it also implies that the vehicle may have experienced periods of inactivity. For an electric vehicle, low mileage can be a double-edged sword; while it preserves mechanical components, it can lead to issues related to standing, such as the degradation of rubber components or the health of auxiliary electrical systems. During your physical inspection, you should pay close attention to the tyres, looking specifically for sidewall cracking or perishing, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. Because the vehicle is driven infrequently, check the brake discs for excessive corrosion or pitting and listen for any signs of binding calipers or a shuddering sensation through the brake pedal during your test drive. It is also critical to verify the health of the 12V auxiliary battery, as low-usage electric vehicles are prone to battery discharge which can lead to erratic electronic behaviour or failure to start. Finally, ensure the service history is comprehensive and confirms that time-based maintenance has been performed. Even with low mileage, fluids such as brake fluid and coolant require periodic replacement to prevent moisture ingress and chemical degradation. Confirm that the manufacturer's service intervals have been met according to the calendar rather than just the odometer. On the test drive, listen for any unexpected clunks or knocks from the suspension that might suggest rubber components have hardened from lack of use, and ensure the regenerative braking system operates smoothly and predictably.
