2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LO10 EDS

The 2014 Fiat 500 presents a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 49,674 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed with no advisories or faults noted. The only anomaly is a failed test on 18 June 2024 at 41,460 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at the same mileage, which points to an administrative or data-entry irregularity rather than a mechanical fault. The mileage pattern shows light use for a twelve-year-old car. It covered 27,851 miles by 16 June 2022, rose to 34,641 by 22 June 2023, then 41,460 by 18 June 2024, and reached 49,674 by 18 June 2025. That averages roughly 4,140 miles per year with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps, suggesting steady low-intensity motoring rather than neglect or heavy commercial duty. The clean record across all tests implies the previous keeper kept basic consumables and structure within test limits, though no detailed advisory history exists to confirm deeper maintenance. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and low annual mileage, as prolonged standing can accelerate perished rubbers and surface corrosion unseen by the MOT. The identical same-day fail and pass in June 2024 warrants a check of the DVSA certificate to confirm no suppressed defect. With no recurring faults or structural warnings on file, the mechanical risk sits low, but a pre-purchase check of underside rust and binding calipers remains sound practice on any Fiat of this era.
