2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RO64 MKA

The most recent MOT test on October 30, 2025, confirms this 2014 Fiat 500 remains roadworthy with no defects recorded at 29,538 miles. The vehicle’s maintenance history shows a stable pattern over the past five years, with no recurring advisories or failures beyond minor, easily addressable issues. The absence of structural or drivetrain faults in the latest test suggests the car has been maintained at a basic level, though the lack of advisories in recent years does not preclude hidden wear. The last advisory—from October 2021—was for near-limit brake linings and a defective reversing lamp, both of which were resolved without further mention, indicating the vehicle was promptly attended to at that stage. The recorded mileage of 29,538 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of around 2,462 miles annually, which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The gaps between tests are consistent, with roughly 1,000 miles logged between each annual MOT, suggesting the car has spent extended periods either stationary or used sparingly. This low mileage could imply limited exposure to wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals, but it also raises questions about whether the vehicle has been stored improperly, potentially accelerating corrosion or fluid degradation. The lack of mileage spikes or irregularities in the record further supports the idea of minimal real-world use. Given the history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension components, particularly the rear suspension bushes and coil springs, which may exhibit premature degradation due to prolonged inactivity. The front brake linings were flagged in 2021, so verifying their current thickness and checking for uneven wear or glazing is essential. Corrosion should be assessed thoroughly, especially around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, as static vehicles are prone to rust development. The exhaust system and underbody should also be inspected for leaks or damage, as these areas are often overlooked in low-mileage cars. Finally, the battery and fluid levels—particularly brake fluid and coolant—should be checked, as stagnation can lead to contamination or failure in these systems.
