2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OY14 AAJ

The 2025‑11‑05 MOT at 43,824 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle is presently roadworthy. The earlier 2024‑11‑12 test recorded light oil misting on the front shock absorbers and excessive wear on the rear upper bushes, yet the subsequent 2025 result shows those issues have been corrected, indicating a stable maintenance trend rather than ongoing deterioration. At 12 years old, 43,824 miles represent an average annual mileage of 3,652 miles, well below the typical usage for a 2014 model. Nevertheless, the interval from the 2022‑11‑17 test (31,302 miles) to the 2023‑11‑10 test (35,392 miles) added 4,090 miles in a single year, and the 2023‑11‑12 to 2024‑11‑12 interval contributed a further 4,362 miles, suggesting periods of increased use despite the overall low average. Recurring faults focus on the suspension system: front shock absorbers showed light oil seepage in 2024, rear upper bushes exhibited excessive wear in 2024, and the 2019 headlamp aim defects point to prior alignment adjustments. A buyer should therefore inspect shock absorber seals for leaks, assess bush condition for play, examine brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion, and verify the structural integrity of chassis rails and suspension mounting points for any rust or damage.
