2014 Fiat 500 L 1.6L Diesel · PE14 TYC

This vehicle presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 10 October 2025 at 54,140 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to early 2023, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that avoids common wear-and-tear failures. The mileage is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,512 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between October 2024 and October 2025, where the odometer rose from 40,429 to 54,140 miles. This jump of nearly 14,000 miles in a single year contrasts with the previous period between January 2023 and October 2024, during which the car covered only 5,736 miles. The absence of advisories across multiple years is unusual for a vehicle of this age and suggests a diligent approach to preventative maintenance. There are no recurring trends regarding suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust emissions. The single failure on 4 January 2023 was resolved immediately on the same day, indicating a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a deep-seated mechanical fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade during periods of low usage. While the MOT record is clean, low-mileage cars often suffer from perishing rubber seals, tyre flat-spotting, or brake caliper seizing due to inactivity. Check the date codes on the tyres and inspect the underbody for surface corrosion, as the DVSA record does not explicitly detail the condition of the chassis beyond the pass requirements.
