2014 Fiat 500L 1.4L Petrol · GV14 NFD

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglected brake component wear. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 47,030 miles identified thin front inner brake pads and a non-excessive oil leak. While the car passed the inspection, the consistent flagging of brake pad wear across multiple years suggests the previous owner only addressed faults when they approached failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,900 miles per year. Between July 2021 at 38,056 miles and July 2025 at 47,030 miles, the car covered only nine,974 miles over four years. This low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and the seizing of brake calipers if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between trips. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the record shows thin pads on various axles in 2022, 2023, and 2025. The tester also noted front tyres worn on the edges in 2022, which often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that remain unaddressed. The oil leak mentioned in the July 2025 test requires a close look to determine if it is a minor seepage or a more significant gasket failure that could lead to engine damage if left ignored.
