2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM63 OOH

A clean DVSA record with no advisories, failures, or recorded defects across all listed tests is the defining characteristic of this 2014 FIAT 500, and on that front the vehicle presents a tidy roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2026-02-19 is recorded as both a pass and a fail on the same date, which is an unusual administrative entry and most likely reflects a presentation on a day when a minor item was addressed and the test outcome then updated, rather than any substantive mechanical concern. The 2025-03-03 entry follows the identical pattern of a same-day pass and fail, again with no defects recorded, while the 2024-03-04 test was an unconditional success. With no advisories ever logged, there is no historical evidence of developing wear on brake components, suspension linkages, exhaust mounting, corrosion, or structural areas, and the tester has not flagged any items requiring monitoring at subsequent visits. Overall the trend is one of stable, clean roadworthiness throughout the recorded testing history. With 92,105 miles recorded against a 2014 registration year, this Fiat 500 has averaged roughly 7,675 miles annually over its twelve-year life, which is broadly typical for a small city-oriented hatchback of its age and sits comfortably within expected usage parameters for the model. There are no obvious mileage gaps or large unexplained jumps between tests that would suggest clock irregularities or extended periods off the road, and the accumulation between the 2024 and 2026 entries is consistent with regular light-to-moderate driving. That said, a small petrol city car of this vintage carrying over 92,000 miles will still have wear beyond what the MOT record can capture, particularly on non-tested service items such as the timing belt, clutch, engine oil leaks, and interior trim durability. The mileage alone is not a red flag, but it is high enough that mechanical sympathy should be assumed rather than proven by the test history. For a prospective buyer, the absence of any recorded advisories means the inspection focus must shift to areas the MOT does not directly cover and to verifying that the clean paperwork reflects the car's actual physical condition. On a test drive, listen carefully for any clonks or knocks from the front suspension over uneven surfaces, particularly as the MacPherson strut top mounts and front anti-roll bar bushes on a 500 of this mileage commonly deteriorate and produce a characteristic rattle over speed humps. Check for uneven tyre wear across both axles, as worn suspension geometry from tired bushes will scrub the inner or outer edges prematurely, and feel for any pulling or vagueness through the steering that could indicate worn tie rod ends or top mount deflection. The clutch should be tested on a hill to confirm clean take-up without slip, and the engine should be observed from cold for any timing chain rattle, blue smoke on overrun, or excessive coolant loss, all of which are known concerns on higher-mileage 500s irrespective of MOT outcome. A thorough physical inspection beneath the vehicle is also worthwhile given the mileage, particularly looking for signs of oil seepage from the cam cover gasket and sump, condition of the exhaust system hangers and flexi section, and any corrosion around the rear axle beam and suspension mounting points. The brake discs and pads, while not flagged, should be physically inspected for lipping and remaining friction material, as 92,000 miles will have consumed at least one set of front pads and discs and possibly rear shoes or pads depending on driving conditions. Equally, confirm the service book history to verify the timing belt replacement interval has been respected, as neglect of this item on the 1.2-litre engine can lead to catastrophic failure. Finally, request a current fault code read via OBD to confirm no stored emissions or sensor faults are dormant, and ensure the tyre age stamps are within a reasonable service life, before committing to purchase.
