2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · PE69 NEO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in September 2025 at 12,621 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of mechanical concern in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple failures requiring immediate attention, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection indicates that the previous owner addressed the identified mechanical faults before the latest annual check. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. Data shows consistent intervals of low usage, moving from 6,242 miles in 2022 to 8,050 miles in 2023. While this low mileage often suggests less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it explains the premature degradation of rubber components noted in August 2024, where all four tyres were flagged for perishing and cracking due to long periods of standing rather than lack of tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and steering geometry to ensure previous repairs remain effective. The August 2024 failure highlighted a nearside front lower steering linkage ball joint with excessive play and worn top bushes on both rear shock absorbers. These components should be checked for any remaining movement or audible knocking during a test drive. Given the history of perishing tyres, the current sidewalls must also be closely inspected for dry rot or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles suffer from age-related material failure despite high tread levels.
