2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WP67 HVB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 43,956 miles passed, it revealed advisories for a minor exhaust leak and front tyres reaching the legal limit. This follows a failure in late 2023 where multiple suspension and fluid issues were identified, suggesting that the vehicle is often only addressed when faults reach the point of failure during an annual inspection. At 43,956 miles over nine years, the car has covered an average of approximately 4,884 miles per year. This low usage explains the presence of perished rubber components, such as the cracked rear tyre noted in November 2023. However, the mileage accumulation between tests is consistent, with roughly 4,000 miles driven between November 2024 and November 2025. The low mileage suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to the specific corrosion and seal-related issues seen in the record. A physical inspection must focus on the recurring suspension and braking faults. The record shows a history of worn suspension arm bushes and pins dating back to 2022, with a specific failure in 2023. The buyer should check for play in the front assembly. Additionally, the fluctuating front brakes noted in 2024 and the thin pads from 2022 indicate a need to inspect the condition of the front rotors for uneven wear or heat pitting. The presence of a corroded sump and corroded rear coil springs in the 2023 records highlights a vulnerability to moisture-related degradation. While these were reportedly addressed since, the persistent exhaust leak mentioned in 2024 and 2025 suggests the exhaust system may not have been fully rectified. A prospective buyer should inspect the underbody for ongoing structural rust and ensure the exhaust clamp mentioned has been replaced to prevent further emissions issues.
