2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RO18 KZP

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift from a clean record to emerging mechanical wear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 60,429 miles passed, it introduced advisories for worn front suspension arm bushes and a corroded exhaust box clamp. This marks a departure from the three-year period of zero defects seen in the previous tests, suggesting the vehicle is now entering a phase where rubber and metal components require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a city car, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 26,287 miles in February 2022 to 60,429 miles in May 2026. There is a notable jump of over 8,000 miles between the 2025 and early 2026 tests, which aligns with the appearance of suspension and tyre issues. The consistent interval between tests suggests the vehicle has been used regularly rather than suffering from long periods of inactivity. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the front suspension geometry and checking for further play in the lower arm bushes, as the 2026 test already flagged initial wear on both sides. The offside front tyre was noted as worn on the inner edge, which often indicates an alignment issue or incorrect camber that should be addressed to prevent premature tyre failure. Additionally, although the brake discs were noted as worn in 2025, the physical thickness of the remaining material should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life.
