2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR16 YHO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding suspension and braking components. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026, it failed just three miles prior due to an excessively worn offside front suspension arm bush and inner tyre wear. The progression from a clean record in 2023 to multiple mechanical-related failures by 2026 suggests that the owner is only addressing faults once they trigger an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The data shows steady annual use, moving from 44,753 miles in 2023 to 64,639 miles in April 2026. This low-mileage profile explains the presence of perishing tyres noted in 2024 and pitted brake discs in 2024 and 2025, as age often causes rubber and metal components to degrade despite the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and alignment closely, as the recurring reports of inner edge tyre wear in 2026 often point to incorrect geometry or worn control arms. The offside front suspension arm bush has recently been replaced, but the buyer should check the opposite side for similar play. Additionally, the history of pitted and scored brake discs across two consecutive years indicates the braking system is nearing the need for full replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance and prevent uneven pad wear.
