2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RE66 FSK

The 2025‑10‑01 MOT at 53,981 miles passed with only an insecure near‑side front lower lamp, confirming the vehicle is currently roadworthy. All tests from 2022 onward passed, showing a stable maintenance record and no defect that escalated to failure after the 2022 door latch issue was corrected. The recorded mileage averages about 5,400 miles per year, well below the typical 7,500‑8,000 miles expected for a ten‑year‑old car, suggesting light use or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage rose from 33,332 miles in September 2021 to 37,508 miles in October 2022 (≈4,200 miles in 13 months) and then to 41,939 miles in September 2023 (≈4,400 miles in 12 months), a steady progression with no abrupt jumps. Recurrent brake disc wear, described as pitted or scored but not seriously weakened, appears in every test since 2021, indicating ongoing brake component fatigue that merits close inspection of disc thickness and pad condition. The 2022 failure of the near‑side front door latch demonstrates a structural latch issue that should be verified for proper operation, and the 2020 report of slightly worn suspension bushes points to potential play in the front upper shock absorber mounts. A buyer should therefore examine the condition of the front brake discs and pads, verify the security of the door latch mechanism, assess the wear of the front lower lamp mounting, and inspect the suspension bushes and shock absorber mounts for excessive play or corrosion. Checking for any rust on the chassis, wheel arches and underbody will also provide confidence in long‑term structural integrity.
