2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR16 YHM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 55,137 miles passed, it introduced a new advisory for a perishing offside rear tyre. This follows a pattern of tyre-related failures over the previous two years, suggesting that the owner only addresses consumable items once they reach the point of legal non-compliance during an MOT inspection. At 55,137 miles, this ten-year-old Fiat has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 3,800 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 1,760 miles leading to the most recent test. This low-frequency use often leads to degradation of rubber components, such as the cracking tyres noted in the record, as the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and cooling systems. The May 2024 failure highlighted a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber and a coolant leak, which were repaired prior to the pass. You should verify that the shock absorber remains dry of oil weeping and check the coolant housing for any residual residue or pressure loss. Given the recurring issues with perished and uneven tyre wear, the current condition of all four tyres should be checked for sidewall cracking and alignment issues, which could indicate worn suspension bushes.
