2020 Fiat 500 Star S-A 1.2L Petrol · NK20 KCV

The 2020 FIAT 500 STAR S-A presents a strong and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 14 April 2026 at 36,595 miles with zero defects recorded. This is the most recent test available, conducted just over two months ago, and it marks a clear step up from the advisory-laden test of March 2024. The trajectory from flagged wear items to a completely unblemished pass suggests the previous owner addressed outstanding issues promptly and maintained the vehicle to a reasonable standard through its middle years. The mileage pattern is consistent and unremarkable, which is reassuring. The car covered roughly 6,100 miles per year on average, progressing from 16,782 miles in March 2023 to 22,297 miles by March 2024, then to 30,290 miles by February 2025, and finally to 36,595 miles in April 2026. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in accumulation that would raise concerns about long periods of inactivity or clocking anomalies. The annual test intervals are slightly irregular, with a longer gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests, but the mileage progression between each test remains steady and plausible. The only notable advisory cluster appears in the 5 March 2024 test at 22,297 miles, where the tester flagged an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and worn on edge, alongside a minor engine oil sump leak. The tyre wear pattern points to possible misalignment or neglected rotation, while the sump seepage, though noted as not excessive at the time, warrants a physical under-bonnet inspection to confirm it has not progressed. Both items were absent from subsequent passes, implying they were rectified, but a buyer should still verify the condition of the offside front tyre and inner wing area for uneven wear and check the sump and engine underside for fresh oil residue. Given the clean recent pass and modest mileage, the primary areas to inspect in person are the suspension bushes and coil springs for the kind of wear typical of a small city car that may have encountered repeated urban speed bumps and potholes. The braking system, particularly rear calipers for binding and disc condition, deserves attention given the car's stop-start duty cycle. A thorough underbody check for corrosion around mounting points and the exhaust system is advisable, as even low-mileage Fiat 500s can develop surface rust in vulnerable areas if not garaged or treated. The record is clean, but a hands-on inspection remains essential to confirm that the paper trail matches the physical condition.
