2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OD02 AJD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 2, 2026, at 63,664 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern rather than proactive care. The car failed that same test earlier in the day due to a nearside front tyre with exposed cords and a cracked inner sidewall. While the immediate defect was rectified, the history indicates that the owner only addresses critical components once they reach the point of legal failure during inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,900 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered only 1,078 miles, suggesting very infrequent use or long periods of stationary. This low usage often correlates with the recurring issues seen in the rubber components of the vehicle. The data confirms a consistent low-mileage trend over the last three years, which explains the degradation of materials due to age and lack of motion rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of all tyres, as the record shows a persistent history of perishing and cracking across 2023, 2024, and 2026. Because the car sits frequently, the sidewalls are prone to dry rot regardless of the remaining tread depth. The 2023 test also flagged pitted and scored front brake discs at 60,854 miles, so the buyer should verify the current state of the rotors and pads to ensure corrosion has not progressed. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check the suspension bushes and seals for signs of cracking, as these components degrade over time when vehicles are not driven regularly.
