2015 Fiat 500L 1.6L Diesel · WR15 EWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed the test on 3 June 2026 at 99,280 miles, this followed a failure just four miles prior. That failure highlighted multiple defects including a dangerously worn nearside front tyre, an insecure offside front track rod end dust cover, and perished offside rear rubber. The pattern suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing routine inspections. At 99,280 miles over 11 years, the vehicle averages approximately 9,000 miles per year, which aligns with national averages for a small family car. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a 9,500-mile gap between September 2024 and September 2025, and another 4,400 miles covered in the nine months leading up to June 2026. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used regularly, which typically helps prevent internal corrosion of braking components despite the minor cosmetic issues seen in the record. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension components, as the offside front track rod end was flagged for a deteriorating dust cover in 2025 and became a failure point in 2026. This recurring issue suggests a lack of attention to steering-related wear. The nearside mirror also requires checking for stability, as it has been noted as loose or insecure across two separate testing periods. Furthermore, the perished condition of the offside rear tyre indicates the rubber may be reaching the end of its life regardless of tread depth, necessitating a thorough check of all tyre ages.
