2022 Fiat 500E LA Prima Electricity · PO22 RVA

The Fiat 500e La Prima presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 21 May 2026 at 14,590 miles with zero defects recorded. The sole advisory from the previous test on 29 April 2025, at 11,688 miles, flagged scoring on the nearside front and offside front brake disc inner faces. That defect has since been resolved, indicating the braking system was inspected or rectified ahead of the 2026 test. No further advisories or failures have emerged, and the vehicle has maintained continuous roadworthiness across both recorded tests. At roughly four years old with only 14,590 miles, this example has covered approximately 3,648 miles per year, which is notably low for its age. The mileage progression between tests shows an increase of 2,902 miles over the twelve-month gap from April 2025 to May 2026, suggesting a modest uptick in use during that period. Prior to that, the vehicle likely saw even lighter annual covering, consistent with urban or short-trip usage typical of a small electric city car. Low mileage of this nature can mean reduced mechanical wear, but it also raises the possibility of extended periods standing still, which can affect tyre flat-spotting, brake surface condition, and battery health in electric vehicles. The scored brake disc advisory from April 2025 is worth noting even though it has since been cleared. A buyer should still inspect the front brake discs and pads in person to confirm the scoring has not returned and that the calipers are operating freely without binding. Electric vehicles rely heavily on regenerative braking, which can lead to reduced friction brake use and consequently uneven disc corrosion or surface glazing over time. Checking the condition of the rear brakes is equally important, as the record provides no data on their state. Beyond the braking system, a physical inspection should cover the tyre sidewalls for perishing or cracking, particularly if the car has spent long periods stationary. The suspension bushes, coil springs, and dampers should be examined for any deterioration, though no suspension-related defects have appeared in the MOT history. The underbody and sills merit close attention for corrosion, as even low-mileage electric vehicles can suffer from surface rust if stored in damp conditions. The high-voltage battery state of health should be verified through a diagnostic readout, since the MOT record offers no insight into battery degradation. Overall, the MOT history is sparse but clean, and the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a reasonable standard.
