2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WN16 NLO

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent test on 31 March 2026 at 86,687 miles. This result indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a clear improvement, moving from a failure in early 2024 to two consecutive defect-free passes over the last twenty-four months. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical-use vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. Data shows a steady progression of 17,189 miles between March 2023 and April 2024 tests, followed by another 12,923 miles recorded between April 2024 and April 2025. This regular accumulation suggests the car is used consistently rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing rubber components from per through age. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, as the 2023 test at 49,170 miles flagged light oil misting. While no failure was recorded since, shock leaks often progress progressively to total failure. You must also verify the front brake pads and discs; the 2024 failure noted thin pads that required immediate replacement. Given the history of low tyre tread depths in both 2023 and 2024, a thorough check of the current tyre brands and alignment is necessary to ensure the suspension is not causing uneven wear.
