2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SD14 OSL

The vehicle presents a strong roadworthiness profile with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 10 October 2025 at 60,314 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the owner has proactively addressed any minor issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. There is a notable spike in usage between the October 2022 test at 30,098 miles and the September 2023 test at 41,258 miles, where the car covered over 11,000 miles in eleven months. However, the usage has since regressed, with only 4,910 miles recorded over the final two test cycles. This low overall annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mileage examples. Despite the clean recent history, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage use. The buyer should check for brake corrosion or seized calipers, as vehicles that sit for long periods often suffer from rusted discs and uneven wear. The failure in September 2023 at 41,258 miles suggests a specific defect was present then, though the subsequent clean passes indicate the issue was rectified. Given the age of the Fiat, a thorough check of the chassis for structural rust and the condition of the suspension bushes is essential, as these parts degrade over time regardless of low recorded mileage.
