2013 Fiat 500L 1.4L Petrol · WN13 PXL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test on October 13 2025 at 52,731 miles resulted in an initial failure due to a damaged windscreen, insufficient washer fluid, and poor tyre condition. While the vehicle passed the immediate re-test, the presence of multiple failures indicates that the owner is only addressing issues when they directly threaten the MOT certificate. At a recorded 52,731 miles over 13 years, this Fiat has covered significantly less ground than average, approximately 4,000 miles per year. The data shows a consistent usage pattern between May 2023 and October 2025, where the car covered only 11,916 miles in seventeen months. This low-mileage profile often leads to degradation of rubber components regardless of mechanical wear, which is evidenced by the cracking and perishing of the nearside rear tyre noted in both the 2024 and 2025 tests. A buyer must physically inspect the tyres thoroughly, as the nearside front was already flagged for uneven edge wear in 2025, suggesting a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The recurring mention of perishing rubber confirms that the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can cause brake calipers to seize or seals to dry out prematurely. Additionally, the windscreen should be checked for spreading cracks and the washer system verified for leaks, following the previous failure. There is no evidence of structural corrosion or brake failure in the records, so the focus remains on these consumables and age-related degradation.
