2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RO18 ETJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern regarding suspension geometry. While it passed the most recent test in May 2026 at 45,746 miles, this followed a failure just four days prior at 45,721 miles. The failure identified a faulty windscreen wiper, an incorrect headlamp aim, and both front inner tyres worn to the legal limit, indicating that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail an inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,700 miles per year. There is a significant spike in usage between April 2024 and April 2025, where the car covered nearly 8,000 miles in twelve months, compared to just over 6,800 miles in the preceding year. Despite this fluctuation, the low annual mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and flat spotting on brake discs, which may align with the recurring wear issues seen on the front tyres. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front suspension and alignment during a physical evaluation. The recurring issue of front inner tyres wearing prematurely in 2023, 2025, and 2026 suggests a persistent camber issue, worn ball joints, or incorrect tracking geometry. If the underlying cause is not rectified, the vehicle will continue to consume tyres at an accelerated rate. Additionally, check for corrosion on the brake calipers and the exhaust heat shields, as low-mileage vehicles of this age often suffer from inactivity.
