2013 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YD63 FDZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 46,195 miles was a pass, it followed two immediate failures within the same week. The trend shows an improving state regarding specific mechanical failures, as the exhaust emissions and lighting issues were addressed, yet several age-related defects like the minor exhaust leak and worn front suspension arm bushes persist as ongoing advisories. At a recorded 46,195 miles, this 13-year-old Fiat shows low mileage, averaging approximately 3,553 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mechanical wear. The gap between October 2024 at 44,174 miles and October 2025 at 46,195 miles shows the vehicle covered only 2,021 miles in a year, which explains the perishing and cracking of the tyres noted across multiple test records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension thoroughly, as the lower arm pin bushes have been flagged as worn since October 2024 and have not been replaced despite recurring mentions. The presence of various corroded components underneath the car since 2024 requires a close look at the structural integrity to ensure rust has not progressed beyond surface level. Given the consistent history of perishing and cracking tyres, the current set of rubber should be checked for age-related dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth.
