2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WP67 EHT

The 2017 Fiat 500 is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-12-01 at 39,111 miles, with only minor advisories concerning the offside rear tyre tread and registration plate condition. However, the maintenance trend shows a concerning pattern of recurring tyre issues and structural wear, indicating inconsistent upkeep rather than a stable or improving condition. The vehicle failed twice in 2024 and once in 2023 due to tyre tread depth violations, suggesting that basic safety checks were overlooked or deferred, which may point to a lack of proactive maintenance. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of approximately 4,346 miles over nine years, which is below the UK average for this age group. This suggests the car has been lightly used, possibly stored for periods, which can lead to accelerated wear on tyres and suspension components due to inactivity. The MOT history shows no major defects between 2024-12-10 and 2025-12-01, but the repeated tyre failures in 2023 and 2024 highlight a persistent issue that may stem from improper inflation, alignment, or storage conditions rather than mechanical failure. Buyers should conduct a thorough inspection of the suspension system, particularly the nearside and offside front suspension arms, as these were flagged for excessive wear in 2023. The recurring tyre tread problems, especially on the nearside front and rear, warrant close examination of wheel alignment and brake caliper function, as uneven wear can indicate binding brakes or misalignment. Additionally, check for corrosion on the body structure, particularly around wheel arches and sills, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from rust if exposed to damp conditions during storage.
