2015 Fiat 500L 1.2L Diesel · DL65 ASO

The most recent MOT on 16 February 2026 passed cleanly at 76,913 miles, confirming the vehicle met all roadworthiness criteria. The maintenance trend is broadly stable, with a clean result in February 2025 at 64,444 miles following a failure just two days earlier at 64,420 miles. That failure involved a fractured offside front coil spring and a malfunctioning engine MIL indicator, yet the owner rectified the issues rapidly to pass the subsequent annual check. However, the engine MIL fault recurred in February 2024 at 49,682 miles, suggesting the underlying electronic fault was not fully resolved during the first repair. Mileage accumulation follows a consistent pattern of roughly 7,000 miles per year across the ten-year span. The recorded distance grew from 17,739 miles in February 2019 to 76,913 miles by February 2026, with no suspicious gaps or rapid mileage jumps between tests. The clean passes from 2021 through 2024 indicate basic upkeep was maintained during that period, aside from the isolated failure at 64,420 miles. The consistent annual testing schedule implies the previous owner prioritised compliance, though the recurring MIL fault points to a more complex engine management issue than a simple bulb replacement. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the engine management system and the offside front suspension assembly. The MIL fault appearing in both the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a persistent electronic fault rather than transient sensor noise. The fractured coil spring recorded at 64,420 miles is typical wear for a 2015 model at this mileage, but the buyer should verify the remaining suspension bushes and shock absorbers for cracking or oil leakage. The clean passes from 2022 through 2026 suggest the core mechanical structure remains intact, but the unresolved MIL fault warrants further diagnostic attention before purchase.
