2015 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · RV65 CCF

A consistent record of clean passes over the last three years suggests a stable state of roadworthiness, following a more problematic period in late 2022. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 was completed without any defects or advisories, continuing a trend of clear results since the resolution of previous suspension and tyre failures. The recorded mileage of 53,191 miles is low for an eleven year old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,836 miles per year. This usage pattern typically results in reduced wear on the drivetrain and engine internals compared to higher mileage examples, though low annual accumulation can sometimes lead to the premature perishing of rubber components or the accumulation of deposits in systems that are not regularly cycled. Given the previous failures regarding the rear upper shock absorber bushes, a test drive should focus on the rear suspension's stability. Listen for knocking or thumping sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or speed bumps, and feel for any excessive lateral movement or instability when cornering. While these components were addressed to pass the 15 December 2022 test, the rear suspension geometry remains a primary area for inspection to ensure no new wear has developed in the bushings. Attention should also be paid to the condition of the remaining tyres, specifically checking for any signs of sidewall cracking or structural irregularities similar to the dangerous tear recorded in 2022. Ensure the vehicle tracks straight under braking and acceleration, as any pull or vibration could indicate issues with the alignment or the integrity of the suspension components that were previously flagged.
