2014 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · FY64 RVT

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 27 July 2026 at 78 021 miles, but the test recorded several advisories: a solid TPMS warning, a minor exhaust gas leak at the front flexi, a broken centre exhaust mounting bracket, and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit on the inner edge. The pattern of failures and advisories over the past four years shows a deteriorating trend rather than improvement. Issues such as exhaust leaks, suspension wear, brake disc scoring, and deteriorating constant‑velocity boots have persisted across multiple tests, indicating that routine maintenance has been inconsistent. Mileage accumulation has been steady at roughly 6 500 miles per year since 2017, when the car recorded 25 740 miles. The MOT entries follow an annual schedule around September, with the latest test occurring just one day before the current date, confirming that the vehicle’s compliance status is current. The only notable deviation is the 2026 test, which took place in July rather than the usual autumn window, but it remains within a year of the previous test. A prospective buyer should inspect the suspension components closely: check the offside front shock absorber for oil misting, examine the strut top mount for play, verify the condition of rear shock absorber bushes, and ensure both front wheel arch liners are secure. Brake condition must be verified, focusing on disc surface condition and pad thickness, as the history shows repeated disc wear. The exhaust system requires attention for leaks and the broken centre bracket, while tyres should be measured for tread depth and inspected for edge wear and cracking. Finally, the constant‑velocity boot on the nearside front drive shaft shows long‑term deterioration, and the rear coil springs exhibit corrosion, both of which merit close visual and mechanical assessment.
