2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RF15 SXS

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in June 2026 at 85,692 miles with no defects recorded. This represents a period of stable maintenance following a trend of recurring failures between 2020 and 2024. While the history shows a history of mechanical wear issues, the clean result of the last two tests suggests the current owner has addressed previous outstanding faults and is maintaining the car to a standard operating level. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 41,200 miles in June 2021 to 85,692 miles by June 2026. There are no significant gaps in testing intervals that would suggest long periods of the car sitting stationary, though the low annual mileage relative to the age explains the gradual degradation of rubber components and suspension bushes, which often perish due to time rather than purely mileage-driven friction. A buyer should conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension, as the record shows a persistent history of wear. The tester flagged worn suspension arm bushes and shock absorber top mounts repeatedly between 2019 and 2024, and a fractured coil spring was noted in 2023. Additionally, the vehicle has a history of uneven tyre wear, specifically inner-edge wear on the front axle, which indicates a potential alignment issue or worn geometry that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement. The braking system and exhaust components also warrant attention based on past failures. The car previously suffered thin pads and pitted discs in 2020, alongside a broken brake pipe and bracket in 2022. While these appear to be resolved, an inspector should check for any signs of fluid leaks or fresh corrosion on the exhaust system. The current state of the tyres is also vital, as the MOT history frequently notes them reaching legal limits or perishing, suggesting that consumable items are often replaced only when they fail inspection rather than proactively.
