2015 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · WR65 WVZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding underbody components and fluid leaks. The most recent test in April 2026 at 86,118 miles identified several new mechanical advisories that were not present in previous years. While the car passed, the emergence of an oil leak and a coolant leak alongside advancing corrosion on the rear axle suggests the vehicle is beginning to suffer from age-related degradation that requires proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old city car, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 14,000 miles recorded between January 2024 and February 2025, followed by a rapid accumulation of over 15,000 miles in just fourteen months. This recent burst of usage likely correlates with the increased wear noted on the suspension and braking components. The failure in early 2023, due to multiple tyres being at or below the legal limit, indicates a period where basic consumable maintenance was neglected until the test forced action. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the front suspension and structural integrity. The record shows a recurring issue with the offside front lower arm bush and ball joint, which progressed from a worn bush to having slight play by the 2026 test. Furthermore, the corrosion on the rear axle and the state of both rear coil springs are significant concerns, as rust can can lead to structural failure if left unaddressed. The pitted rear brake discs and the reported coolant and oil leaks should be verified by a technician to ensure they are not indicative of deeper engine failure or overheating issues.
