2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR13 AMK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently in the failing range, as the most recent MOT test on 2026-04-28 failed with a significant number of issues. The tester flagged binding rear brakes, a serious fluid leak in both shock absorbers, and excessive wear in the front macpherson strut top bushings, indicating that the mechanical integrity of the front axle is compromised. The second MOT test on 2026-04-22 confirmed these findings with additional failures, including a misaligned windscreen jet and a constant velocity boot split in the front outer drive shaft, suggesting that the suspension system is not functioning as designed. The mileage pattern reflects a rapid accumulation of wear that is not characteristic of a typical 13-year-old vehicle. The vehicle has experienced a significant gap between the most recent failed test on 2026-04-22 and the subsequent PASSED test on 2025-04-04, which occurred only 1,000 miles later, indicating that the vehicle has accumulated approximately 1,000 miles of accumulated wear since the most recent failure. This rapid mileage increase suggests that the vehicle has been driven with minimal maintenance, leading to accelerated degradation of critical components such as the suspension bushings and brake discs. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to verify the condition of the binding rear brakes and the fluid leaks in the shock absorbers, as these faults are present in the most recent MOT record. The front suspension components, particularly the macpherson strut top bushings and the constant velocity boot, must also be checked for excessive wear or free play, which could compromise the vehicle's handling and safety. Given the history of failed tests and the accumulation of miles since the last MOT, the vehicle is in a precarious state requiring immediate professional assessment for any potential structural or mechanical risks.
