2015 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · YK15 WXP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of developing structural and suspension wear. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 76,628 miles passed, it carried advisories for a worn nearside front lower suspension arm bush and drifting bump stops. This follows a significant failure in May 2025 where the same suspension bush was flagged as excessively worn alongside failing brake components. Although the vehicle has passed its tests, the recurring nature of suspension issues indicates a transition from minor wear to components requiring proactive replacement. At 76,628 miles, the car averages approximately 7,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for an 11-year-old vehicle. The mileage progression shows consistent intervals, with roughly 5,000 to 6,000 miles covered between each annual test since 2023. This steady usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, though the low mileage makes age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces more apparent despite the low recorded distance. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the rear sub-frame and axle beam. The record shows a persistent history of corrosion starting with the spring seats in 2023, which progressed to a corroded sub-frame advisory in 2025. While the tester noted these were not yet seriously weakened, the presence of rust on structural members is a long-term concern for this model. Additionally, the front braking system should be checked for uneven wear, as the 2025 failure for pitted discs and fluctuating brakes suggests the front hardware may have been subjected to heat stress or environmental neglect.
