2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MJ66 YRA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from reactive neglect to proactive care. The most recent test in January 2026 at 45,461 miles passed with only a minor advisory for a light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. This follows two years of clean passes in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and rectified. At 45,461 miles over nine years, the car averages a low annual mileage of approximately 5,000 miles per year. The usage pattern appears consistent, with roughly 3,000 miles covered between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. While this low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain, the 2023 and 2024 records highlight that rubber components like tyres and wiper blades, as well as brake hardware, have suffered from age-related degradation rather than distance driven. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the offside front shock absorber to ensure the misting does not progress to a seal leak. The history reveals a recurring failure regarding front brake components, with the 2024 failure noting thin pads and significantly worn discs following a 2023 advisory for pitted discs. While these were clearly replaced, the buyer should verify the remaining pad life and surface condition of the new discs. Given the previous 2023 report of perishing tyres and bald edges, the current tyre rubber must also be checked for sidewall cracking or hardening, as low mileage often leads to rubber degradation before the tread is fully exhausted.
