2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SD64 ABU

As of the most recent test on 13 February 2026 at 79,436 miles, the Fiat 500 passed with no defects recorded and presents as roadworthy under DVSA criteria. The maintenance trend is stable, with five tests since January 2024 showing zero advisories or logged mechanical faults. Two anomalous failures occurred on 5 January 2024 at 56,230 miles and 28 January 2026 at 79,388 miles, yet both carried no defect entries and were followed by passes on the same day or weeks later. This pattern signals neither worsening nor resolving fault trends but likely undocumented rectifications or administrative anomalies. The mileage accrual fits typical use for a twelve-year-old car. In the January 2024 test the odometer read 56,230 miles; by 20 January 2025 it showed 67,494 miles, a 11,264-mile annual increment. The February 2026 reading of 79,436 miles continues a ~11,900-mile yearly rate. No prolonged standing or sudden accumulation appears. The record remains sparse but clean, reflecting consistent ~6,620-mile overall average with slightly higher recent use that is unremarkable for urban supermini duty. Despite the absence of flagged defects, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of key wear components. The tester logged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, corrosion or exhaust emissions issues, but the unexplained failures warrant verification of structural integrity and braking efficiency. Previous owners cleared the vehicle through same-day retests, implying minor non-logged items were addressed swiftly rather than neglected across service intervals. Request the full failure certificates from DVSA to clarify the omitted defect categories before purchase, and scrutinise underneath for rust and check suspension articulation on a ramp.
