2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SPH 52X

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness with no defects recorded in its last four MOT tests, including the most recent 2025-05-31 assessment at 38,217 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2024 also showed passes with no issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-06-20 at 30,480 miles—mirroring the same mileage as the subsequent 2022-06-23 pass—raises questions about the accuracy of the record or potential minor faults not documented. No structural, suspension, or braking issues were flagged in the valid tests, suggesting no immediate mechanical risks. The vehicle’s low mileage of 38,217 over 12 years equates to approximately 3,185 miles annually, significantly below the UK average. This pattern implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation despite low wear. The MOTs are spaced consistently, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, reflecting regular compliance. However, the absence of defects in all tests may not fully account for potential hidden issues from long-term storage, such as corrosion or fluid stagnation. A buyer should physically inspect the underbody for rust, particularly around the chassis and exhaust system, given the low mileage and age. Check brake discs for warping or uneven wear, as prolonged inactivity can cause binding calipers. Verify suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for stiffness or cracks. The failed 2022 test without recorded defects warrants further inquiry, though no subsequent issues were noted. Overall, the MOT history suggests responsible upkeep but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
