2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SW55 PMW

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 29,466 miles. While the overall status is passing, the maintenance trend shows a developing issue with the front braking system. The transition from a clean record in 2024 to recorded disc pitting in 2025 and thin pads in 2026 indicates that these components are now reaching the end of their functional life. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,267 miles per year. The data shows a period of very low use between 2022 and 2024, where the car covered only 618 miles in two years. However, usage has increased recently, with 4,554 miles covered between May 2024 and April 2026. This low-frequency usage often leads to age-related degradation of metal surfaces, which explains the pitting and scoring on the brake discs noted in the latest tests. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front braking assembly to ensure the pitted discs are replaced alongside the new pads. The recurring nature of the disc corrosion suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for extended periods, which allows moisture to corrode the iron. You should also inspect the rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, as parts often crack and perish due to age and low mileage rather than mechanical wear.
