2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR63 OBZ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs on minor components. The most recent test in August 2025 at 76,126 miles passed despite alerts for a non-excessive oil leak and corrosion on the rear coil spring. While the car consistently passes, the recurring nature of the advisories regarding suspension and tyres suggests that the owner addresses faults only when they approach the MOT failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 76,126 miles represents an annual average of approximately 5,856 miles. This low-usage profile often correlates with less wear on mechanical assemblies, yet the data shows inconsistent usage patterns. Between June 2022 and June 2023, the vehicle covered only 4,322 miles, while the low annual mileage across its lifetime may indicate long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface rust noted in the records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the general corrosion flagged in 2025. The history shows persistent issues with rear coil springs dating back to 2023, which remain an advisory as of the latest test and indicate structural fatigue that requires attention. Furthermore, the offside front suspension arm bushes were flagged as worn in both 2022 and 2023, necessitating a physical check for play or clunking during driving. The tyre condition requires close scrutiny as multiple tests highlighted perishing, cracking, and uneven wear across 2023, 2024, and 2025. These findings suggest the tyres may be outrun by age rather than tread depth, posing a safety risk. The oil leak identified in the 2025 test should also be monitored to ensure it remains a minor weeping rather than an escalating into a significant gasket failure.
