2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OV69 EVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass on April 10, 2026. However, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical standards, evidenced by a failure just three miles prior. At 20,147 miles, the tester identified excessively worn front suspension arm pins and bushes on both sides. While the vehicle has since been rectified to pass, this specific failure indicates that components were reaching the end of their service life without preventative replacement. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,878 miles per year. Between June 2024 at 17,607 miles and April 2026 at 20,148 miles, the car covered only 2,541 miles in two years. This low usage pattern often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The record shows consistent tyre perishing and cracking due to time exposure rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the arm bushes and pins were replaced with high quality parts following the April 2026 failure. The recurring history of tyre sidewall damage and cracking across 2023 and 2026 suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods, which can cause flat spots on tyres and corrosion on brake discs. Verify the manufacture date of the tyres and check for brake binding or seized calipers despite the low recorded mileage.
