2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · OY14 AAU

The 2014 FIAT 500 remains roadworthy, having passed the most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 at 47 192 miles with no defects recorded. The pattern of a failed test four days earlier on 8 September 2025, followed by a successful one on the same mileage, suggests an administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. Overall, the maintenance trend is stable; there is no evidence of emerging faults or degradation. Mileage figures show a consistent, low‑usage pattern. The vehicle logged 40 662 miles on 2 September 2023, 43 932 miles on 2 September 2024, and 47 192 miles on 12 September 2025. This equates to roughly 3 270 miles per year, well below the average for a 12‑year‑old car. No sudden jumps or gaps appear in the record, indicating regular, moderate use rather than sporadic high‑mileage periods. A prospective buyer should still perform a thorough visual and functional inspection. Check tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as low mileage does not preclude wear from long storage. Inspect brake pads, discs and calipers for uneven wear or glazing; verify that the brake system is free of leaks and that the pedal feels firm. Examine suspension bushings, shock absorbers and steering linkages for cracking or oil leakage. Look for body‑work corrosion, especially around wheel arches and door sills, and confirm that the exhaust system is intact. Verify that all lights, indicators and the battery are operational. Finally, confirm that the engine, transmission and coolant fluids are at correct levels and that the oil colour and viscosity are within specification. These checks will confirm that the vehicle’s low mileage has been matched by sound maintenance and that no hidden issues have arisen.
