2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · MV14 AEA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The most recent MOT recorded in January 2022 at 86,887 miles passed with no recorded defects, following a significant failure just ten days prior. That earlier failure revealed multiple mechanical issues across the chassis, including excessively worn rear shock absorber bushes, a worn front suspension arm bush, and a coolant leak. While these issues were rectified to secure the subsequent pass, the record suggests the owner only addressed faults when necessitated by a testing failure. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old city car, averaging approximately 7,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between May 2019 and January 2021, during which the car covered over 14,000 miles in a shorter period. The interval between January 2021 and January 2022 shows a further increase of 11,000 miles in one year. Given the last recorded test was in early 2022, the vehicle is now over four years overdue for its annual inspection, which represents a significant risk in verifying the current state of its mechanical components. A prospective buyer must focus the physical inspection on the engine bay and cooling system. The record previously noted heavy oil marks in 2021 and a coolant leak in early 2022, necessitating a check for active leaks or signs of thermal degradation in hoses and gaskets. Furthermore, because the suspension suffered from multiple bushingrelated failures in 2022, a thorough examination of all rubber components and shock absorbers is required to ensure new wear has returned. The lack of data for the last four years means the structural integrity and the condition of the exhaust system remain unknown and should be verified for corrosion.
