2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WK63 GVX

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows signs of a worsening maintenance trend regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 13 October 2025 at 56,051 miles resulted in a pass, the tester initially flagged a failure due to an exhaust leak. The advisories from this latest inspection indicate that the vehicle is approaching a period of required maintenance, specifically concerning the front braking system and tyre tread depths. The mileage profile suggests light usage, averaging approximately 4,300 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The data shows a steady, low-speed accumulation, moving from 48,041 miles in September 2022 to 56,051 miles by October 2025. This low annual mileage can sometimes lead to component degradation through inactivity, such as the corrosion noted on the rear brake hose in the October 2024 test. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front braking assembly. The records show a recurring pattern of pitted or scored brake discs and thinning pads, appearing in both the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. The October 2025 advisories for nearside and offside front tyres being worn close to the legal limit suggest that basic upkeep of consumables has been deferred. The history also highlights previous issues with suspension arm bushes and exhaust integrity. The October 2024 test flagged worn front suspension arm bushes and a minor exhaust leak, the latter of which caused a failure in the October 2025 test before being rectified. Given the recurring nature of the brake and exhaust issues, a thorough check of the exhaust system's structural integrity and the condition of the front suspension components is necessary to ensure no underlying mechanical neglect exists.
