2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · PY14 NTM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT in August 2025, although it initially failed due to excessively worn bushes on both the nearside and offside rear upper shock absorbers. There is a clear and worsening pattern regarding the suspension. In 2024, the front Macpherson strut bush was noted as worn, and by 2025, the rear shock absorber bushes had deteriorated to the point of failure. This suggests that the rubber suspension components are degrading across the vehicle. Previous history shows a trend of failures related to basic maintenance. In 2024, the car failed due to thin front brake pads, a worn front tyre, and an incorrectly adjusted parking brake. An oil leak was also recorded during that same test. The mileage of 76,806 miles is typical for a 12-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,400 miles per year. This indicates regular, moderate use, meaning the wear on the suspension and consumables is consistent with its age rather than suggesting extreme hard use or long periods of standing. A buyer should first inspect the suspension for any remaining play or noise and check the engine bay for evidence of the previously recorded oil leak.
