2016 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YR16 HXF

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend toward improving maintenance. The most recent inspection conducted on 16 December 2025 at 70,164 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed. This follows a clean result in December 2024, suggesting the current ownership is proactive regarding identified faults. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual usage for a decade-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between January 2022 and December 2025, the car covered 15,488 miles, showing steady rather than erratic use. The 4,303 miles driven between the January 2024 and December 2024 tests reflects a regular driving cycle, which helps mitigate the risk of rubber components seizing or fluid degradation often associated with long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on the front suspension geometry, as this area showed recurring issues in the past. The December 2022 test flagged a nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint and a worn offside rear shock absorber bush, which were followed by a worn offside front suspension arm bush in January 2024. While these appear to be resolved given the subsequent clean records, a physical check of the wishbone bushes and ball joints is necessary to ensure no new play or uneven wear has developed.
