2021 Fiat 500 Dolcevita + Mhev 1.0L Petrol · YC71 ONP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in attention to consumable components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 23,036 miles resulted in a pass despite front brake discs that were pitted and scored. While this did not lead to a failure, it indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life and requires proactive replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. This suggests short urban trips rather than long motorway commuting. Between the September 2024 test at 15,083 miles and the September 2025 test at 23,036 miles, the car covered 7,953 miles. This low-intensity usage often leads to surface corrosion on brake rotors, which explains the pitting observed by the tester if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment settings, as the September 2024 advisory noted front tyres worn to the inner inner edge on both sides. This pattern typically indicates a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes that will accelerate tyre degradation if not rectified. Given the condition of the front brake discs, a physical check of the pad thickness and the presence of binding calipers is necessary to ensure the mechanical components have not seized due to the low-mileage pattern.
