2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · VS02 BUD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward suspension and tyre wear issues. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 83,003 miles passed, it introduced new advisories for both front shock absorbers showing light misting of oil. This follows a relatively clean record from October 2024, suggesting that while the car is beginning to show signs of age-related degradation, it has not reached critical failure. At 83,003 miles over 11 years, the car averages approximately 7,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between October 2024 and November 2025, and approximately 7,000 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This regular interval suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, which often helps prevent the accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake system seals. A buyer must pay close attention to the front suspension and geometry, as the records from 2023 and 2025 consistently flag front tyres worn on the inner edges. This pattern indicates a misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes that requires professional inspection to prevent further premature tyre failure. Additionally, the 2023 report noted corroded rear inner brake pipes should be physically verified to ensure the corrosion was treated and has not progressed toward a structural failure. The non-excessive oil leak from the sump noted in November 2023 should be monitored for volume loss, though it remains a minor mechanical concern. Given the previous failure in 2023 due to imbalanced rear brakes, a thorough test drive is necessary to confirm the braking system is now operating within specified parameters. The current light misting on the shock absorbers suggests they are nearing the end of their functional life and should be budgeted for replacement in the near future.
