2019 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RO69 FNJ

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-06 showed the vehicle passed with three key issues: offside rear tyre worn close to legal limit and slightly damaged, an oil leak from a corroded sump, and a minor exhaust leak. These defects were also recorded in the prior MOT on 2025-09-26, which resulted in a failure. The proximity of these two tests (just 10 days apart) suggests minimal mileage gain (90 miles) and raises questions about whether the vehicle was driven consistently between inspections. Recurring mechanical patterns include tyre wear and damage, oil leaks from corrosion, and exhaust system faults. Tyre issues (worn edges, cracking, and ply exposure) appeared in three MOTs spanning 2023 to 2025, indicating potential long-term neglect or uneven wear. The oil leak from a corroded sump and exhaust joint leaks persisted across multiple tests, pointing to ongoing maintenance concerns. Headlamp and suspension arm bush wear also featured in earlier failures, though these were not repeated in the latest MOT. The trend shows some issues recurring without clear resolution, such as tyre and corrosion-related defects. However, the vehicle passed the most recent test, suggesting repairs may have addressed certain faults. The lack of significant new defects in the latest MOT implies stability in some areas, but the persistence of tyre and corrosion issues indicates unresolved underlying problems.
