2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · WM14 DKN

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-20 showed the vehicle passed with two minor issues: a corroded rear sub-frame (structural rigidity unaffected) and an offside rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. These indicate ongoing corrosion risks and continued tyre wear, though neither posed immediate safety concerns. Recurring tyre wear patterns are evident across multiple MOTs, including front and rear tyres worn on edges or near limits. This suggests potential alignment issues, uneven tyre pressure, or inconsistent maintenance. The 2024-11-04 failed MOT also noted a windscreen washer providing insufficient liquid, a minor but recurring fault. The trend shows no clear worsening of major issues, but repeated tyre-related defects and corrosion highlight persistent maintenance needs. Structural corrosion (e.g., rear sub-frame) and suspension components (e.g., strut ball joint play) suggest the vehicle may have experienced environmental exposure or moderate use over time. With 107,045 miles on a 12-year-old vehicle, the mileage aligns with typical usage for its age. However, the absence of significantly higher or lower figures means wear patterns cannot be definitively linked to heavy use or long-term under-use. A buyer should prioritize inspecting tyre condition, suspension components (especially front struts and springs), and corrosion in structural areas like the sub-frame.
