2017 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YS17 VJC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 at 32,117 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of reactive neglect in 2024. While the 2024 failure revealed multiple critical suspension and braking issues, the most recent test indicates that these mechanical faults have been addressed, bringing the vehicle back to a clean operational standard. At 32,117 miles over nine years, the car has significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per annum. This usage pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The record shows consistent intervals of roughly 4,000 to 5,500 miles between annual tests from 2023 and 2026. However, the low mileage suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods, which correlates with the recurring issues of tyre cracking and perishing despite sufficient tread depth. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the history shows recurring failures with wishbone bushes and Macpherson strut ball joints. The 2024 and 2025 tests indicate a pattern of premature front-end component wear, requiring a buyer to verify that no play remains in the steering or suspension. Additionally, the buyer must inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking or age-related rot, as the record flags perishing across three consecutive years due to low usage.
