2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · KUR 786X

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile following a period of corrective work. The most recent test on 15 October 2025 at 20,405 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a successful retest in October 2024, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and the vehicle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of roadworthiness. The mileage pattern indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered 3,016 miles, and it has added only 2,573 miles since the October 2024 test. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such infrequent use can lead to secondary issues like seized components or degraded fluids. The data shows a consistent, albeit very slow, accumulation of distance. The MOT history highlights a recurring focus on the braking system and front suspension. In the October 2022 test at 14,816 miles, the tester flagged both nearside and offside front brake discs as worn, pitted, or scored. This issue escalated in the October 2023 test at 16,836 miles, where the vehicle failed due to significantly worn front brake discs on both sides and a failing offside front inner suspension arm bush. Although the 2025 pass suggests these components were replaced, a buyer should physically inspect the condition of the front brake discs and pads to ensure no premature wear has occurred. A physical inspection should also prioritise the front suspension assembly. Given the 2023 failure regarding the suspension arm bush, it is prudent to check for any play in the steering or suspension components and listen for knocks over uneven surfaces. Because the vehicle spends long periods stationary, checking for signs of corrosion on the underside and ensuring the battery and tyres are in good health is advisable.
