2018 Fiat 500 1.6L Petrol · PF18 FOC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-08-20 confirming a pass at 38,648 miles. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of minor wear rather than escalating issues, indicating responsible upkeep. However, the recurrence of front tyre wear and rear brake disc scoring suggests ongoing attention to these components is necessary. The only defect in the latest test was a slightly damaged or perishing tyre, which reflects normal wear but warrants immediate replacement to avoid failure. The mileage accumulation is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging just under 4,831 miles annually. This steady progression—approximately 5,500 to 6,000 miles per year between tests—indicates regular use without long-term storage, though the absence of any major defects from 2023 to 2024 is encouraging. The gap between 2021 and 2022 (from 15,844 to 21,960 miles) shows a jump of over 6,000 miles, suggesting a period of more intensive use, but no associated faults were recorded at that time. The overall pattern remains stable, with no evidence of sudden deterioration. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front tyres, particularly given their repeated near-limit wear since 2021, as this may indicate alignment or suspension issues. The rear brake discs have shown consistent scoring and wear since 2022, requiring close examination for depth of wear and potential binding calipers. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for signs of fatigue, especially if the vehicle has been driven on poor roads. Additionally, the condition of the rear tyre flagged in 2025 must be verified for cracks or perishing, as this poses a risk of sudden failure. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the rear wheel arches where corrosion could develop unnoticed.
