2022 Fiat 500 Dolcevita Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MM22 VMG

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 23 July 2026. While a failure was recorded the previous day, this was due to a minor, easily rectified fault regarding the windscreen washer system, which does not indicate a broader pattern of mechanical neglect. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle maintaining its roadworthiness through routine inspections without any evidence of significant structural degradation or recurring major defects. With a recorded mileage of 31,416 miles over approximately four years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 7,854 miles per annum. This represents typical usage for a modern city car and suggests a balanced duty cycle. This level of mileage indicates that the drivetrain and suspension components should still be well within their expected service life, although the vehicle is now entering the phase where standard wear-and-tear consumables will require more frequent monitoring. A key point for inspection relates to the 2025 advisory concerning the nearside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edge. A prospective buyer should examine the current tyre tread depth and look for uneven wear patterns across the width of the tyre. Such edge wear can be a symptom of incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, listen for any knocks or clunks from the front end and ensure the vehicle tracks straight without pulling to one side. Given the age and the mild hybrid nature of the powertrain, it is essential to verify the service history to ensure calendar-based fluid changes have been performed. Inspect the brake discs for any surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers that could affect efficiency and tyre wear. Finally, ensure the 12V auxiliary battery is healthy and that the hybrid system transitions smoothly during stop-start operations, as these components can be sensitive to the vehicle's usage profile.
