2020 Fiat 500 Lounge Mhev 1.0L Petrol · P3 HLU

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows the first sign of mechanical degradation. While the most recent MOT test in September 2025 at 16,801 miles resulted in a pass, the tester identified a knock from the steering when traversing shaker plates. This indicates potential wear on the inner tie rods or associated steering components, marking a departure from the clean records seen in the previous years of testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per year. Data from the August 2023 test at 12,405 miles and the September 2024 test at 14,720 miles shows a consistent slow accumulation of roughly 2,300 to 2,400 miles annually. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to issues such as brake corrosion or perished rubber-based components due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to address the steering-related knock noted in the latest record. Specifically, check the inner tie rods, track rods, and bushes for play or excessive movement. Because the car has covered few miles, it is also vital to inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and the calipers for seizing, as these are common failures on vehicles that are not used frequently.
