2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · NU64 XSM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While the car passed its October 2025 test at 23,944 miles, it followed a failure just seven miles prior. That failure flagged multiple critical issues including fluctuating front brakes, corroded rear brake pipes, and failing coil springs. The transition from a failure to a pass within 24 hours suggests the previous owner only addressed faults once they became a legal barrier to the road. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 registration, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year with a total of 23,944 miles. This low usage explains the prevalence of surface corrosion and pitting on the brake discs, as the components have not been used enough to clear debris through regular friction. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 1,638 miles, yet it still presented significant wear issues, indicating that long periods of standing have exposed the metal components to moisture and oxidation. A buyer must personally inspect the suspension and braking system for signs of ongoing degradation. The record shows recurring issues with shock bushes from 2023 through 2024, alongside persistent corrosion on the rear coil springs. The tester also noted corroded rear brake pipes in 2025 that were covered in grease, which often indicates an attempt to hide structural decay in the metal lines. Furthermore, the 2023 failure for exposed cords on the offside tyre and extreme edge wear suggests a potential alignment issue or suspension component failure that should be verified to prevent rapid tyre degradation.
