2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM63 XDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a persistent trend of deferred repairs regarding wear components. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 73,687 miles passed, it carried forward multiple advisories that mirror issues found in previous years. The trend is stable in terms of passing the test, but the recurring nature of the brake and suspension faults suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where parts are only addressed when they reach a failure point rather than following a preventative schedule. The mileage pattern is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 65,670 miles and October 2024 at 71,662 miles, the car covered roughly 6,000 miles, indicating low-intensity usage. However, this low annual mileage explains the recurring issues with rubber-based components, specifically the perishing and cracking of the rear tyres which have been flagged due to age and environmental exposure rather than tread wear. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the suspension and braking systems. The record shows a serious failure for the nearside front shock absorber in 2024, which has evolved into light misting on the offside rear shock by the 2026 test. Furthermore, the front brake discs and pads have been flagged as worn or thin across three consecutive tests between 2024 and early 2026, indicating they are likely nearing the end of their functional life. The rear tyres should be checked specifically for sidewall cracking, as the tester has identified them as perishing consistently since 2023.
