2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WN13 PXE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in August 2025, but the overall maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While the 2025 test at 92,321 miles identified only minor tyre wear, the preceding history reveals a pattern of deferred mechanical repairs. The transition from a significant 2023 failure to subsequent passes suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults once they reach a failure threshold or an advisory limit. The recorded mileage of 92,321 miles is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,100 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025, and approximately 6,000 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This consistent mileage suggests regular operation, though the significant failure in January 2023 followed by a pass a week later at the same mileage indicates a period where neglected maintenance was finally addressed to maintain legal compliance. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the rear suspension and steering components given the recurring issues. The January 2023 failure flagged a serious fluid leak on the nearside rear shock absorber and corrosion on both rear coil springs, which are common failure points on this model. Furthermore, the noted damage to the front track rod end dust cover in early 2023 necessitates a check for steering play or play in the joints. The repeated reports of uneven tyre wear on the edges in 2024 and 2025 also suggest a persistent alignment issue that should be verified to prevent premature tyre degradation.
