2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MJ66 YRK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean pass in the April 2026 test at 50,490 miles. This represents an improving trend in maintenance following a period of neglect in late 2024. While the car failed its November 2024 inspection due to multiple suspension and brake issues, the subsequent passes in October 2025 and 2026 indicate that the current owner has addressed the critical defects to bring the car back to a passing standard. At 50,490 miles, this ten-year-old Fiat has covered significantly less distance than average, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent pattern of use, with the vehicle covering 10,666 miles between November 2023 and April 2026. This low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the perishing tyres noted in late 2024 and the recurring reports of worn bushes across multiple testing years. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows a history of worn Macpherson strut bushes and suspension arm pins dating back to 2023 and 2024. The 2025 advisory regarding light misting on the front shock absorbers suggests these should be monitored for active fluid leaks that could lead to premature failure. Additionally, the minor oil leak identified in 2024 should be verified to ensure it remains non-excessive and does not indicate a developing engine seal failure.
