2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SE14 ACX

The 2014 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 50,223 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle exhibits no worsening mechanical condition across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at 50,223 against an estimated 4,185 miles per year for a twelve-year-old car, confirming very light use. The test on 23 June 2023 at 39,594 miles, 22 June 2024 at 43,828, and 14 February 2025 at 46,601 show steady low annual accumulation with no abrupt jumps. A one-day fail on 13 February 2025 at 46,601 miles with no defects listed suggests an administrative or presentational issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, with the car passing cleanly the next day. The clean MOT history leaves no recorded corrosion, suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust emission failures for the buyer to chase. Given the low mileage and the 13-month gap between the June 2024 and February 2025 tests, a buyer should still verify in person that long periods of standing have not bred flat-spotted tyres, seized handbrake mechanisms, or superficial structural rust beneath sills and wheel arches. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm fluid condition and brake caliper freedom, as these items escape MOT detection when lightly used. The absence of advisories implies prior owners kept basic upkeep current, but low-use Fiats merit a check of the timing chain tension and coolant integrity beyond the test scope.
