2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WN13 PXK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than proactive care. The latest test in May 2026 at 62,930 miles resulted in a pass with an advisory for an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This follows a trend of deferred tyre management seen in the 2025 test, where both front tyres were flagged for inner edge wear. While the vehicle passed its recent inspections, the recurring issues with consumables suggest inconsistent owner oversight. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,930 miles is low, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber components through age rather than mechanical wear. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 3,600 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests and another 3,600 miles between 2025 and 2026. This steady low-mileage profile means the vehicle remains susceptible to age-related failures. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension assembly following the 2024 failure for a leaking shock absorber and worn suspension arm bushes. Although these were reportedly rectified to allow the subsequent pass, the 2023 advisory for a worn nearside bush indicates that the front end has a known point of weakness. The persistent inner edge wear on the front tyres across two consecutive years suggests an ongoing misalignment or worn ball joints that will continue to consume tyres prematurely if not addressed. Check for corrosion on the chassis and exhaust, as low-mileage cars that sit for long periods can suffer from structural rust despite low mechanical wear.
