2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YM65 JXF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy but the most recent inspection indicates a shift from a previously clean maintenance record. While the car passed its tests between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the June 2026 test at 44,179 miles flagged significant front brake wear. The tester identified thin front brake pads and discs that are worn, pitted or scored, suggesting that after years of clean reports, the braking system now requires immediate attention. The mileage profile is consistently low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows steady usage patterns, moving from 30,458 miles in June 2022 to 44,179 miles in June 2026. This low-frequency use often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also lead to surface corrosion on metal components, which may align with the pitting noted in the 2023 test at 33,673 miles. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly to determine the extent of the disc corrosion and pitting. Because the tester flagged both pads and discs, a full replacement of the front rotors is likely necessary to restore stopping performance. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for rubber degradation in suspension bushes and tyres, as these components can age and crack over a decade regardless of the limited miles driven.
