2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · P22 WLT

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the test in April 2026 at 87,689 miles passed, it flagged immediate concerns regarding a worn offside front tyre and thinning front brake pads. This marks a departure from the clean records seen in 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the current owner is only addressing components once they approach legal limits or mechanical failure points. The mileage pattern remains consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 5,313 miles between September 2023 and May 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 5,534 miles between May 2025 and April 2026. This recent increase in usage suggests the car is being driven more frequently now, which accelerates the degradation of rubber components and metalwork, evidenced by the new defects in the 2026 report. A buyer must prioritize a thorough inspection of the braking system and fluid lines. The 2023 test identified corrosion on all four brake pipes, which were obscured by grease, a common tactic used to hide structural decay from inspectors. Given that the 2026 test now reports thin pads, the buyer should check for seized calipers and ensure the corrosion on the pipes has not progressed into perforation. The uneven wear on the offside front tyre also indicates a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires immediate attention to prevent further tyre wastage.
