2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LD64 DZH

The overall roadworthiness status for this 2014 FIAT 500 is doubtful and not stable , with the most recent test in July 2025 failing. The failure of the 2025-07-09 test indicates a persistent mechanical issue, specifically the binding of the front service brakes and a misfit shim on the near-side front brake pad, which have likely worsened since the previous PASSED test in July 2024. This suggests that the vehicle has not been adequately maintained in the last two years, as the binding condition was not corrected in the 2025-07-08 test. The mileage pattern shows a clear gap between the 2025-07-08 and 2025-07-09 tests, with the vehicle achieving only 44,540 miles between the two failed dates, a significant accumulation of wear that correlates directly with the binding and shim issues. This rapid mileage increase, particularly over a single year, suggests the owner may have neglected routine servicing or that the vehicle was driven in conditions that exacerbated mechanical stress without addressing the binding faults. Given the recurring structural and mechanical failures, particularly the brake binding, steering rack free play, and cracked rear tyres, the vehicle requires immediate and thorough inspection in person. Buyers should verify the condition of the steering rack and wheel bearings, check for corrosion on the exhaust Lambda reading, and ensure the suspension bushings and brake discs are free of rust. A buyer must also confirm that the 2025-07-09 test failure was not due to a lack of service, as the binding condition is not considered excessive, making a simple tyre replacement insufficient for the vehicle's age and mileage.
