2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DT14 HCD

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history leading up to the most recent inspection. The October 2025 test at 79,781 miles shows a pass with no recorded defects, indicating that the vehicle's fundamental roadworthiness remains intact. While the record shows a failure on the same date in October 2025, the subsequent pass suggests that any identified issues were rectified immediately, maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 12-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 54,863 miles in October 2022 to 79,781 miles in October 2025. This steady usage pattern suggests the car has been driven regularly rather than sitting idle for long periods, which generally reduces the risk of seized components or perished rubber seals. Since the MOT record is remarkably clean, there are no specific mechanical trends to flag regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. However, because the vehicle has covered nearly 80,000 miles, a physical inspection should focus on wear-and-tear items that MOT testers do not always scrutinise deeply. You should specifically check the condition of the drive belts, the state of the suspension springs for corrosion, and the integrity of the underbody to ensure no structural rust has developed. Given the consistent mileage, the braking system and tyre tread should be checked for uneven wear, which can indicate alignment issues. The absence of advisories in the recent years of testing is a positive indicator of the previous owner's diligence. A thorough check of all consumables, including wiper blades and light clusters, is recommended to ensure the vehicle meets all operational requirements.
