2021 Fiat 500 C HEY Google Mhev 1.0L Petrol · OV71 EUK

Recurring issues with the nearside front daytime running lamp and windscreen wiper efficacy define the recent roadworthiness trend, culminating in a failure on 21 August 2026 due to a dangerous tyre bulge and ineffective wipers before achieving a pass later that day. While the vehicle began its testing history with a clean record in 2023, the subsequent tests show a progression of defects related to consumables and external lighting. The recorded mileage of 30,599 miles represents a typical annual accumulation of approximately 6,120 miles for a vehicle of this age. This usage pattern suggests a standard rate of wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings, without the specific risks associated with prolonged inactivity or excessive high-mileage degradation. Attention should be directed toward the nearside front daytime running lamp, which has been flagged as insecure across multiple tests, and the offside front seat, which currently fails to fold forward. During a physical inspection, verify that the lighting unit is firmly seated and that the seat mechanism does not obstruct access or present a safety hazard. Given the dangerous tyre bulge recorded in August 2026 and the previous advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre, a thorough inspection of all tyre sidewalls for cracking or structural irregularities is essential. Ensure the tyre pressure monitoring light is extinguished and that the windscreen wipers clear the glass without streaking or juddering during a test drive.
