2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NG15 WCN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive preventative care. The most recent test in August 2025 at 58,254 miles resulted in a pass despite a snapped nearside hand brake cable mount. This follows two years of clean records in 2023 and 2024, suggesting that while the vehicle is currently sound, specific components are reaching their fatigue limit in isolation. At 58,254 miles over eleven years, the car has covered significantly less mileage than the national average, averaging approximately 5,300 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, but the data indicates periods of relative inactivity which can affect rubber-based components. For instance, between August 2022 and August 2023 tests, the vehicle covered only 5,112 miles, yet it failed on a worn front suspension arm bush, indicating that age rather than mileage is driving the primary mechanical degradation. A buyer should closely inspect the front suspension and geometry, as the history shows recurring failures in this area. The tester flagged a worn steering linkage ball joint in 2022 and an excessively worn suspension arm pin bush in 2023. These faults suggest the rubber bushings and ball joints are prone to premature wear. Additionally, the snapped hand brake cable in the 2025 test necessitates a thorough check of the parking brake mechanism to ensure no further corrosion or seizing exists within the housing. Brake and tyre condition also require attention following the 2019 record, which noted thin front brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. While these were likely addressed, the low-mileage profile can lead to brake disc corrosion or flat spotting if the car sits for long periods. Verify the structural integrity of the chassis for rust, although no structural advisories have been recorded in the provided history to date.
