2015 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WU65 RYG

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 26 August 2025 at 53,582 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend where mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the latest test is clean, the history reveals a pattern of recurring wear on the suspension and tyre components that requires consistent attention to maintain this current standard of upkeep. At eleven years old, the recorded mileage of 53,582 miles is significantly below the national average, averaging to approximately 4,871 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, for example, roughly 3,700 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 2,760 miles leading into 2025. This low-frequency use often suggests lighter strain on the drivetrain but can lead to premature rubber degradation and component fatigue due to age rather than purely mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension geometry, given the history of flagged faults. The September 2022 test at 43,666 miles noted oil misting on the front shock absorbers and a worn offside Macpherson strut pin, while the August 2024 test at 50,820 miles identified worn bushes on both rear upper shock absorbers. A buyer must verify that these components have been replaced and that there is no further weeping or excessive play in the mounts. Furthermore, the 2024 MOT record highlighted uneven tyre wear across all four tyres, specifically noting inner edges on the front. This often indicates an incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes that were not rectified. Although the 2025 test showed no new defects, the buyer should check the current tread depth and wear patterns to ensure that the previous misalignment issues are not recurring, which would lead to premature tyre replacement costs.
