2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SC18 YAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 58,862 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable overall, following three years of clean passes with no recorded defects between 2022 and 2025. However, the most recent test introduced two advisories that indicate the onset of age-related wear, requiring proactive attention to prevent future failures during the next inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical low-urban usage, averaging approximately 7,358 miles per year over the eight-year period. Between June 2022 and April 2026, the car covered 12,037 miles, showing a steady usage profile rather than rapid accumulation or long periods of neglect. This low mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine components have not faced excessive stress, though it also means that rubber-based components are more susceptible to perishng and degradation rather than mechanical wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear axle suspension spring mounting. The April 2026 test flagged corrosion in this prescribed area, and while the tester deemed it not excessive at the time, rust on these components often progresses if left untreated. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre shows signs of cracking or perishing, which is a common issue for vehicles with lower mileage that retain sufficient tread depth. Checking the sidewalls of all remaining-side tyres and the structural integrity of the suspension mounts is essential to ensure the corrosion does not evolve into a structural failure.
