2022 Fiat 500 Dolcevita + Mhev 1.0L Petrol · MM72 VSE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a developing mechanical concern regarding the braking system. In the November 2025 test at 9,316 miles, the tester flagged the nearside rear brakes as imbalanced, narrowly meeting the legal requirements. While the car passed, this suggests the component is operating at the limit of its tolerance and represents a trend that requires monitoring to prevent future failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, with only 9,316 miles recorded averaging approximately 2,329 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to average vehicles. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as brake caliper seizing or flat-spotting on tyres if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods between uses. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly to determine the cause of the nearside imbalance. It is necessary to check for seized calipers, corroded brake discs, or uneven pad wear that may be causing the discrepancy. Given the low mileage, the buyer would also prudent to inspect the tyres for signs of age-related cracking and to verify the suspension bushings for any perishing resulting from infrequent use.
