2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NA15 LCX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive care. In the most recent test in July 2025 at 40,376 miles, the tester identified fluctuating front service brakes and an oil leak from a corroded sump. While these did not cause a failure, they represent a departure from the clean record seen in July 2024, suggesting that components are beginning to show age related wear or corrosion. At 40,376 miles over 11 years, this Fiat has covered a significantly low average of approximately 3,670 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluids rather than mechanical wear. The data shows a gap between March 2023 and July 2024 where the car covered only 4,829 miles, yet the failure in July 2024 due to all four worn tyres and both rear shock absorbers indicates that the vehicle may have sat for long periods or suffered from neglect during those intervals. A buyer must inspect the front braking system closely, as the fluctuating brakes noted in 2025 often indicate warped discs or sticking calipers. The recurring issues with tyre wear across 2023 and 2024 suggest potential wheel alignment problems or incorrect pressures that should be verified to prevent further premature scrubbing. Additionally, the corroded oil sump mentioned in the 2025 record requires a physical inspection to ensure the leak remains minor and does not lead to structural failure of the engine component.
