2015 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · WM65 AAF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 24 October 2025 at 53 992 miles, but carries two advisories: the nearside rear seat‑belt webbing is slightly frayed (7.1.2 (b)) and both front shock absorbers show a light oil mist (5.3.2 (b)). The preceding test on 23 October 2025 at the same mileage had failed with excessive front suspension arm pin/bush wear (5.3.4 (a)(i)) and the same oil mist condition, indicating those components have been a recurring problem. The pattern of minor failures and subsequent advisories points to a stable but ongoing maintenance trend rather than a clear improvement or deterioration. Mileage accumulation is low for a 2015 model, averaging roughly 4 900 miles per year over the eleven‑year span. The MOT records are annual, with a gap only in the 2019‑2020 period where a single test appears, but overall the data set is consistent. The latest test falls about nine months before the current date of 29 July 2026, so the vehicle’s roadworthiness assessment is relatively recent. The low mileage suggests light use or periods of storage, which can mask wear on consumables but also increase the risk of corrosion and component neglect. A prospective buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive wear, check the shock absorbers for oil leakage, and examine the rear seat‑belt webbing for fraying. Tyre condition warrants close attention, especially the nearside rear tyre noted as worn close to the legal limit and the offside front tyre previously below 1.6 mm tread depth. Brake pads should be measured for thickness, and the brake discs inspected for scoring, while a thorough visual scan for rust or structural corrosion around the chassis and exhaust mountings is advisable. Addressing these items before purchase will mitigate the identified mechanical concerns.
