2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LB63 LRB

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile, characterized by a five-year streak of MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. Such a consistent lack of flagged issues through to the latest test on 15 December 2025 suggests a high level of mechanical integrity and a lack of the typical wear-and-tear failures common to city cars of this vintage. With a recorded mileage of 57,746 miles over twelve years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 4,812 miles per annum. This low annual accumulation indicates significantly reduced wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and clutch assembly compared to a typical high-mileage urban example. However, this usage pattern means the vehicle has spent more time stationary than in active transit, which can impact the longevity of rubber components and seals. Given the absence of recorded advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake binding, the test drive should focus on verifying these components are performing as the records suggest. Listen for any knocks or clunks over speed bumps, which would indicate worn suspension linkages that may have developed since the last inspection. Ensure the steering is centered and there is no pull to either side, confirming the alignment and steering rack remain sound. Attention should be paid to the braking system to ensure there is no pedal judder or uneven stopping, as binding calipers can occur in low-mileage vehicles. Check for any oil misting around the engine bay or leaks on the driveway, as seals can perish from age regardless of the low mileage. A thorough check of the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or leaks will complete the assessment of its current roadworthiness.
