2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SE14 KBY

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 28 October 2025 at 103,194 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful repairs. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed its initial test only to pass a retest four days later. This suggests that the previous owner adopted a reactive maintenance strategy, addressing faults only when necessary to satisfy legal testing requirements rather than following a proactive preventative service schedule. At 103,194 miles over 12 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 8,600 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a small city car. The data shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 11,634 miles covered between December 2023 and October 2024, and another 7,785 miles covered in the ten months preceding the latest test. This consistent use indicates the mechanical has been subjected to regular environmental exposure, often preventing the degradation associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the mechanical components that likely triggered the repeated failures. While the record does not list specific defects for the failures, the rapid turnarounds suggest wear on items such as suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake components. Given the age and mileage of this Fiat, a thorough check of the chassis for corrosion on the sills and floor pans is essential, as these are common areas of structural integrity failure. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks and the condition of the tyres to ensure that the recent repairs have not masked deeper underlying mechanical issues.
