2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MJ66 YRL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT in January 2026 at 58,794 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of concern in late 2024. While the car suffered from specific mechanical and lighting issues last year, the subsequent clean test indicates that the previous failures were addressed and the vehicle is currently in a stable state regarding its primary safety components. At 58,794 miles over nine years, the car has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year. This usage profile aligns with typical urban driving for a small city car. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 3,300 miles in the five months leading up to the 2026 test. This regularity suggests the vehicle is not left stationary for extended periods, which helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake seizing. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension and braking system. The December 2024 failure highlighted a fractured offside rear coil spring alongside a binding and fluctuating offside rear brake. Although these were rectified, the recurring nature of brake fluctuations suggests a potential caliper issue or warped disc surface that warrants monitoring for uneven wear. Additionally, the 2023 advisories regarding worn front suspension arm bushes and debonding rear bushes indicate that rubber components are reaching their service life. A physical inspection is required to ensure that these suspension elements have not deteriorated since the last recorded check.
