2021 Fiat 500E Icon Electric · SN71 GDE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in September 2025 with 12,349 miles, but the test flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear—a clear sign of alignment or suspension issues that were not resolved since the previous test. This recurring tyre wear pattern indicates the underlying mechanical problem has persisted, making the roadworthiness status technically valid but concerning from a maintenance standpoint. The recorded mileage of 12,349 over five years equates to roughly 2,470 miles annually, which is low for a vehicle of this age and suggests limited use. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests is just over a year, consistent with annual testing, but the jump from 9,489 to 12,349 miles in twelve months implies a sudden increase in usage—possibly after a period of inactivity. There are no other defects recorded in either test, which is positive, but the absence of prior issues does not offset the significance of the tyre wear. A buyer must inspect the front suspension components thoroughly, particularly the tracking, wheel bearings, and suspension bushes, as uneven tyre wear at this mileage is rarely caused by tread depth alone. The brake system should be checked for binding calipers or warped discs, as these can contribute to uneven wear patterns. The condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers must also be verified, as prolonged standing can cause them to lose tension or develop leaks. The body and undercarriage should be examined for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches and suspension mounting points, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer more from age-related rust than wear-related failure. The tyres are now at or near the legal limit and will require immediate replacement. Without corrective alignment or suspension repair, new tyres will wear out prematurely. This is not a vehicle that can be driven without addressing the root cause of the tyre wear.
