2020 Fiat 500 Star 1.2L Petrol · RF69 LWM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The latest test on 17 February 2026 at 32,298 miles indicates a pass only after a failure one mile prior. This failure identified multiple defects including defective wiper blades, a misting the nearside front shock absorber, and a cut on the offside rear tyre. These issues suggest the owner is only addressing faults once they fail an inspection rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At six years old, the recorded 32,298 miles average to approximately 5,400 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average and suggests low-intensity use. However, the data shows a period of rapid activity between February 2024 at 22,369 miles and January 2025 at 27,052 miles, where nearly 5,000 miles were covered in a year. This usage correlates with the significant mechanical wear noted in the early 2025 failure, specifically regarding brake components and tyre structural failures. A buyer must personally inspect the front suspension closely, as the light misting on the nearside shock absorber often precedes a seal failure that will lead to total fluid loss. The history from January 2025 revealed significantly worn brake discs and a structural bulge in a nearside front tyre, indicating that the vehicle has previously operated with safety components near their point of failure. The recurring mention of tyre damage and cuts across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests the current tyres should be monitored for impact damage or uneven wear patterns that might indicate alignment issues.
