2017 Fiat 500L 1.2L Diesel · YP66 JYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. The MOT test on 19 September 2025 at 16,175 miles initially failed due to an inoperative offside windscreen wiper and a perishing offside front tyre. While these issues were rectified to pass the re-test, the failure suggests that the owner relies on the MOT test to identify obvious defects rather than performing regular annual checks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. Between May 2022 at 12,775 miles and September 2025 at 16,175 miles, the car covered only 3,400 miles. This consistent pattern suggests minimal road use, which typically limits wear on drivetrain and engine components. However, such low-mileage usage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the tyre in the latest test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of all tyres, as the 2025 failure confirms the rubber is drying out despite likely having sufficient tread depth. Because the car has sat for long periods, it is vital to check for corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the calipers are not seizing due to inactivity. The wiper blade assembly should be inspected for cracks, given the previous failure. Beyond the clean records from 2022 to 2024, the structural integrity and primary mechanical components remain sound.
