2015 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · YW15 FFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a trend of reactive rather than preventative mechanical care. The most recent test in October 2025 at 54,513 miles identified a failure due to corroded rear coil springs. While the car passed following repairs, the presence of structural corrosion on suspension components suggests that underbody wear is only addressed once it reaches the point of MOT-level failure. At 11 years old, this Fiat 500 has covered a disproportionately low distance, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with a gap of roughly 7,300 miles between the October 2024 and October 2025 tests. This low usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine, yet it often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals due to the vehicle sitting stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the suspension and alignment, as the record shows recurring uneven tyre wear. In 2022, 2024, and 2024 again, tyres were flagged as worn to the legal limit or showing edge edges, which indicates a persistent geometry issue or worn suspension bushes. The corroded rear coil springs noted in 2025 necessitate a thorough check of the remaining rear suspension arms and mounting points to ensure rust has not compromised the structural integrity of the subframe.
