2018 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WX68 RVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 22 August 2025 at 48,580 miles. The maintenance trend appears generally stable despite a significant failure on that same day due to excessively worn nearside and offside front suspension arm pins and bushes. While these faults were addressed to secure the subsequent pass, the failure indicates that the front suspension components reached the end of their service life simultaneously after several years of clean records. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between the August 2022 test at 22,849 miles and the August 2024 test at 41,047 miles, the car covered 18,198 miles, showing a slightly higher rate of use compared to earlier years. The low annual mileage explains the perishing and cracking noted on the tyres in 2022, as rubber often degrades due to age and lack of movement rather than high mileage wear. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the recently replaced bushes were fitted correctly and no play remains in the wisharms. Given the 2025 failure, checking the ball joints and steering rack for signs of premature wear or leaks is prudent. The record shows no history of structural corrosion or brake-related failures, suggesting the chassis has remained in a dry environment or has received adequate under care since its initial registration.
