2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OV15 LLX

The most recent MOT test on 2026-02-04 reveals a worsening maintenance trend for this 2015 FIAT 500. The tester flagged binding front brakes and worn, pitted brake discs on both sides during the February 2026 test at 42,372 miles. A recurring headlamp aim defect and a nearside front tyre worn to the legal limit also appeared on the same test date. This pattern indicates a clear deterioration from the clean 2024 test at 33,189 miles, suggesting basic mechanical upkeep has slipped recently. Covering roughly 3,852 miles annually, this vehicle has notably low mileage for its eleven-year-old status. The mileage increased by 4,394 miles between the February 2025 test at 37,978 miles and the February 2026 test at 42,372 miles. Prior to that, the car saw slightly more regular use, accumulating 4,789 miles between the February 2024 test at 33,189 miles and the February 2025 test. Low mileage often implies long periods of standing, which can cause seized components and flat-spotted tyres, though the record shows no explicit corrosion or structural decay. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and braking system closely before purchase. The tester flagged a fractured offside front coil spring in February 2025 at 37,978 miles, a serious structural risk that requires immediate verification of the repair. Persistent front brake binding and pitted discs across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggest neglected caliper maintenance or prolonged periods of inactivity. Uneven tyre wear on the inner edges points to potential tracking issues or worn suspension bushes. The recurring headlamp aim defect also warrants checking for accident damage or broken mounting points.
