2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OV15 LLJ

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy with a remarkably stable maintenance history over the last five years. The most recent test on 15 June 2026 at 9,995 miles resulted in a pass despite an advisory regarding a nearside front tyre showing signs of cracking or perishing. This defect is consistent with low-usage patterns rather than mechanical neglect, as all other mechanical and structural checks passed without defect across the four previous annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 900 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 9,530 miles and June 2026 at 9,995 miles, the car covered only 465 miles. This minimal usage suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which limits wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components. However, such low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber-based components that do not wear out regardless of distance. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the June 2026 advisory indicates that the rubber is beginning to fail due to age rather than tread depth. Given the long periods of standing, the buyer must also check for brake seizure or corrosion on the discs, as seized calipers are common when vehicles are not driven regularly. Checking the chassis for surface rust and structural integrity is essential, as low-mileage cars can still suffer from environmental corrosion if stored in damp conditions without regular use.
