2019 Fiat 500 C Star 1.2L Petrol · OO19 AMS

The vehicle presents an improving maintenance trend, moving from several mechanical failures to a clean pass in the most recent test on 8 January 2026 at 44,348 miles. While the 2024 failure highlighted significant issues with front shock absorber fluid leaks and thinning brake pads, the absence of defects in the latest inspection suggests these components were addressed. The transition from multiple failures in 2024 and 2025 to a defect-free result indicates a shift toward more proactive upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical low-to-mid-range usage pattern for a seven-year-old vehicle. The car has covered 44,348 miles, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year. The records show steady progression, with a notable jump of nearly 10,000 miles between the July 2023 and July 2024 tests, followed by more gradual increases. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not been sitting idle for extended periods, which helps prevent issues like seized calipers or perished rubber components. A prospective buyer should focus on the recent history of consumable wear and suspension components. The July 2024 test flagged serious fluid leaks from the nearside front shock absorber and worn front brake discs and pads. Although the 2026 test was clean, a physical inspection of the suspension geometry and the condition of the dampers is necessary to ensure the leak was fully rectified and not merely a temporary improvement. The recurring advisory regarding the offside rear child seat preventing full inspection of the adult belt suggests the vehicle is frequently used for child transport; checking the rear seatbelt anchorage and buckle integrity is a prudent step. Finally, the history shows intermittent issues with tyres and wiper blades, such as the structural bulge noted in July 2023 and the tread depth failure in July 2025. While these are standard consumable items, they indicate that the previous owner may have occasionally overlooked basic maintenance. Checking the current tread depth and the condition of all four tyres for sidewall damage or uneven wear will confirm if the current standard of tyre maintenance has remained high.
