2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RX68 FPK

The 2018 FIAT 500 presents a stable and largely unremarkable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT conducted on 30 January 2025 at 13,236 miles resulting in a pass. The tester noted a minor advisory regarding the front inner brake disc being worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. This is a surface-level condition rather than a structural failure, and the vehicle has otherwise passed every test cleanly since 2023. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with no recurring mechanical failures or escalating defects across the recorded history. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle. Between the February 2023 test at 10,726 miles and the January 2024 test at 11,930 miles, the car covered just 1,204 miles over roughly twelve months. The subsequent interval from January 2024 to January 2025 added only 1,306 miles. Annual accumulation sits at approximately 1,654 miles, well below the UK average. Such light use can preserve consumables and drivetrain components, though prolonged periods of inactivity carry their own risks, including brake surface corrosion, tyre flat-spotting, and fuel system deterioration. The advisory on the front inner brake disc at the most recent test warrants a brief inspection. Pitting and scoring on a disc surface at such low mileage is unusual and may indicate a sticking caliper, a collapsed brake hose, or simply moisture corrosion from extended stationary periods. A buyer should check whether the disc has been replaced or skimmed since January 2025 and verify that the caliper slides freely. Uneven pad wear would confirm a hydraulic or mechanical fault on that corner. Beyond the brakes, the history is sparse and clean. The 2024 failure for both front position lamps was a simple electrical issue, likely a bulb replacement, and the 2023 wiper advisory points to routine consumable wear. No suspension, steering, or structural corrosion defects have ever been flagged. A buyer should still inspect the underside for surface rust given the car's age, check tyre date codes and tread condition, and confirm that all electrical functions operate correctly. The overall record suggests a lightly used small city car with no significant mechanical concerns.
