2014 Fiat 500L 1.2L Diesel · WM63 UPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 105,715 miles resulted in a failure due to critical brake pad thickness on both axles and worn front tyres. While the vehicle passed immediately after a retest and a headlamp adjustment, the failure indicates that the owner only addresses components once they reach legal failure limits rather than replacing them during scheduled intervals. At 105,716 miles over twelve years, the car has averaged approximately 8,800 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is consistent, with roughly 10,000 miles driven between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 8,600 miles between 2025 and 2026. This regular use suggests the vehicle has not sat for long periods, but the consistent mileage places expected strain on the braking system and suspension components. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with thin pads and pitted discs across 2023, 2025, and 2026. The tester specifically noted uneven tyre wear on the front in the latest test, which often indicates alignment issues or sticking brake calipers. Furthermore, the 2023 advisory regarding worn upper Macpherson strut bushes suggests the front suspension is beginning to degrade. The buyer should check for play in the steering or audible knocks during a test drive to ensure these suspension faults have not progressed beyond the initial recorded observations.
