2014 Fiat Roller Team 2.3L Diesel · HF14 BKK

The 2014 Fiat Roller Team has demonstrated a clear improvement in roadworthiness following its most recent MOT test on 30 October 2025 at 39,459 miles, which passed with no defects recorded. This follows a clean bill of health in the October 2024 test at 39,087 miles, establishing a stable two-year trend of passing. However, the vehicle’s history includes two failed tests in August and July 2021, both at mileages just below 38,500, though no specific defects were logged in either instance. The absence of recorded faults during these failures, combined with the subsequent clean tests, suggests either a resolution of minor issues or potential gaps in documentation, but the current trajectory indicates the vehicle is now in sound mechanical order. The mileage progression reveals a notably low usage pattern for a 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,288 miles annually. Mileage increased by only 372 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, reflecting minimal recent use. A more significant accumulation of 1,000 miles occurred between the 2021 and 2024 tests, spanning roughly three years. This uneven distribution—long periods of low activity followed by modest usage—raises considerations about component degradation from inactivity, such as brake seals, rubber bushings, or exhaust system integrity, rather than excessive wear from high mileage. Prospective buyers should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focusing on areas prone to deterioration during extended periods of low use. Examine the brake system, including discs and calipers, for signs of corrosion or uneven wear, particularly given the unexplained failures in 2021. Inspect suspension components like bushings and springs for cracking or perishing. Check the exhaust system for rust or damage, and assess the undercarriage for structural corrosion, especially around wheel arches and sills. Tyres should be evaluated for age-related cracking despite low tread wear, and the battery and fluid levels should be verified, as these may degrade during storage. The low annual mileage suggests the engine and transmission are likely in good condition, but vigilance is advised for ancillary systems affected by infrequent operation.
