2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RX15 UXD

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 29 July 2026 at 39,729 miles, but the report reveals immediate concerns regarding rubber and suspension components. The tester flagged the offside front tyre for uneven inner wear and noted cracking or damage on both front tyres, alongside a nearside rear inner tyre showing sidewall damage. Structurally, the record notes corrosion on both rear coil springs and surface rust on the rear suspension spring mounting areas. While the corrosion is not yet considered excessive on the beam cups, it indicates the beginning of environmental degradation common in low-mileage older vehicles. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 39,729 miles represents an average run of approximately 3,612 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the perishing of the tyres and rubber components, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for long periods rather than through mechanical wear. The history shows consistent annual testing with one exception in January 2020 when the vehicle failed for insufficient washer fluid. Since that failure, the car has maintained a passing record, though the frequency of advisories regarding tyres and suspension suggests reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The trend for the suspension is stable but requires attention to prevent the corrosion on the rear spring mountings from becoming structural. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front lower suspension arm bush, as this was flagged for wear in August 2023. Given the cracking and damage noted on multiple tyres recently, a full set will likely require replacement shortly to ensure safety and grip. Overall, the vehicle appears to be a low-use example that is showing typical signs of age-related material fatigue and early-stage corrosion.
