2020 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · PJ20 SNK

The vehicle currently presents a concerning roadworthiness trend characterized by a sharp decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its most recent test in September 2025 at 63,025 miles, the preceding two failures within a single week reveal a pattern of neglecting essential components. The transition from a clean record in August 2024 to multiple critical failures in late 2025 indicates a shift from proactive care to reactive repairs, where faults are only addressed once they reach legal failure points. At a recorded mileage of 63,025 miles over six years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,500 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns. However, the data shows a significant mileage gap between August 2024 at 42,022 miles and August 2025 at 62,848 miles, representing over 20,000 miles driven in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation likely correlates with the deterioration observed in the tyres and suspension components, as the vehicle was subjected to high stress between service intervals. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the engine sump pan and surrounding area, as the tester flagged an excessive oil leak due to corrosion and flaking in August 2025. The front suspension arm bushes and rear-most bushes have been identified as deteriorated across multiple tests, suggesting ongoing mechanical wear that may not have been fully rectified. Furthermore, the history of perished tyres and exposed cords on the front axle highlights a failure to monitor basic consumables, necessitating a close check of the current tyre set for sidew cracking and structural integrity.
