2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NG15 ABN

The 2026-01-10 MOT passed, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy, though an oil leak was noted. The previous 2025-01-08 failure, with multiple suspension and exhaust defects, was resolved before the next test, indicating that the most recent outcome reflects a stable or improving condition rather than ongoing decline. At 56,887 miles the car averages just over 5,100 miles per year, a low figure for an 11‑year‑old model that suggests periods of limited use. Mileage jumps from 31,000 in January 2022 to 36,229 in January 2023, then to 44,827 in January 2024, and to 50,880 in January 2025, showing a rapid accumulation of roughly 8,600 miles in the 2024‑2025 interval, which may correspond to increased usage or a period of heavy driving. A buyer should prioritize examining the rear suspension bushes, which were recorded as excessively worn in both 2025 tests, and the rear suspension corrosion noted since 2025, as structural rust can compromise integrity. The tyres have repeatedly been recorded as worn close to the legal limit, so tread depth and edge wear must be verified. Front suspension arm pin or bush wear, door handle looseness, and the recurring direction indicator discolouration suggest checks of mounting points and wiring. Exhaust leaks at the back box and pipe clamp, plus the front pipe looseness that prevented emissions testing in 2025, indicate a need to inspect the exhaust system for cracks or loose fittings. Overall, the vehicle shows a pattern of remedial attention followed by stable operation, but the persistent suspension and tyre wear indicate that a thorough in‑person inspection of bush condition, brake function, and structural rust is essential before purchase.
