2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RF66 UPC

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather regarding consumable components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 35,985 miles passed, yet the tester flagged both front tyres as reaching the legal limit and showing uneven wear. This follows a multi-year pattern where tyres are consistently noted, suggesting the owner waits to replace them once they approach failure thresholds rather than performing proactive maintenance. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 35,985 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,600 miles per annum. There is a notable two-year testing gap between November 2022 and February 2024, during which the car covered only 6,661 miles. Since then, usage has increased slightly with over 9,000 miles covered in two years. This low-mileage profile often leads to age-related rubber degradation, such as suspension bushes and seals, which can perish despite minimal mechanical wear on the engine or drivetrain. A buyer should inspect the front suspension geometry and alignment, as the recurring reports of tyres worn on the edge across four consecutive MOT tests indicate a potential persistent alignment issue or worn ball joints. The 2025 advisory for thin front brake pads confirms that the braking system is being serviced only when the components are near exhaustion. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, a physical inspection must check for brake caliper seizing and corrosion on the exhaust system, as these are common issues in vehicles that sit for long durations.
