FIAT 5002014 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its available MOT history, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 20 September 2022 at 38,746 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This suggests the car was in a sound mechanical state at that time, but the absence of any testing between September 2022 and July 2026 means the current roadworthiness cannot be verified. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,229 miles per year. The record shows a slow accumulation of miles, moving from 26,110 in September 2017 to 38,746 in September 2022. A notable gap exists between the January 2020 test and the September 2022 test, during which the vehicle covered approximately 6,000 miles. The failure in October 2018 at 29,724 miles is an anomaly as no specific defects were listed, suggesting a minor administrative or quick-fix issue resolved by the pass on 3 December 2018. The lack of recorded defects over several years indicates a history of light use and generally clean inspections. However, the low mileage and the nearly four year gap since the last MOT raise specific concerns regarding vehicle stagnation. Long periods of standing often lead to perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded battery health. A physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the rubber components and braking system. Check for flat spots on tyres and ensure the brake discs have not suffered from heavy surface corrosion due to inactivity. The buyer should also verify the fluid levels and check for any signs of perished suspension bushes or leaks that typically emerge when a car sits idle for extended periods.
