2016 Fiat 500L 1.2L Diesel · MJ66 YRT

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status is currently failing, with a clear deterioration trend evident from the most recent MOT test conducted on 2025-12-29. The tester flagged binding rear brakes as the primary issue at 63,685 miles, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the braking system has degraded significantly over the last two years. This failure has not been resolved, suggesting that the owner has not adequately maintained the critical components within the last six months, leading to a progressive loss of safety. The mileage pattern shows a clear gap between the two most recent tests, with a substantial accumulation of 13,558 miles between the 2025-12-27 and 2024-12-31 tests. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the owner has likely engaged in aggressive driving or reduced maintenance, resulting in accelerated wear on the suspension bushings, coil springs, and brake components. The consistent failure to pass the MOT at 63,685 miles despite the vehicle's age reinforces the conclusion that basic upkeep has been skipped, and the vehicle remains in a state of unassessed risk. Given the recurring faults and structural risks identified in the history, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of the suspension, brakes, and drivetrain. The front brake disc, which has been worn and scored in both 2024-12-31 and 2024-02-01, is a serious structural risk that requires immediate repair or replacement to prevent further catastrophic failure. Additionally, the excessive damage to the track rod end ball joint dust cover indicates that the suspension system may be compromised, necessitating a full suspension inspection to determine if the bushings or springs are the source of the binding condition.
