2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WG65 VPL

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 October 2025 at 70,069 miles, failed. The vehicle was declared unroadworthy at that time. The failure record shows a pattern of recurring faults that have not been resolved, indicating a worsening maintenance trend. Mileage has progressed steadily from 28,645 miles in November 2018 to 70,069 miles in October 2025, averaging about 6,370 miles per year. The gaps between tests are roughly one year, with no sudden spikes in mileage that would suggest neglect. A prospective buyer should focus on the rear sub‑frame, where corrosion has been noted but not yet critical; inspect the integrity of the spring cups. The front lower suspension arm pins and bushes have repeatedly failed, so verify wear and replace if necessary. Brake pads are below the 1.5 mm threshold and discs show pitting; replacement is advised. Shock absorber bushings on both front and rear upper units have been excessively worn in several tests. Wipers, headlamp aiming and the passenger door latch also require attention. Tyres are worn to the edge, and the exhaust mounting clamp is corroded. The registration plate is insecure. These items should be inspected and, where needed, repaired before the vehicle can be considered roadworthy. Given the cumulative evidence of unresolved mechanical and structural issues, the vehicle would need comprehensive servicing to meet roadworthiness standards. The buyer should budget for suspension bush replacements, brake system overhaul, wiper and headlamp realignment, door latch repair, and potential sub‑frame reinforcement. Only after these interventions and a successful MOT can the vehicle be deemed safe for use.
