2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LR64 HCH

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in April 2026 at 47,241 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows a stable trajectory following a period of minor mechanical wear-related advisories. While the recent test was clean, the history indicates a pattern where components are addressed only as they approach the threshold of failure, rather than as part of a preventative replacement schedule. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 47,241 miles is significantly low, averaging only approximately 4,000 miles per year. This low usage profile explains the lack of heavy wear on drivetrain components but often leads to the degradation of rubber-based parts and seals. The data shows consistent annual testing with steady mileage increments of roughly between 2,500 and 3,000 miles between tests, suggesting the car is used primarily for short-distance urban trips or potentially sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly, which has shown recurring issues. The off-side front lower suspension arm ball joint exhibited play in both 2021 and 2022, and the 2024 test flagged light misting on both front shock absorbers. These indicators suggest the rubber bushings and seals are reaching the end of their service life due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding a broken nearside rear handbrake cable support mount should be verified to ensure the parking brake remains secure and free from binding.
