2014 Fiat 500L 1.2L Diesel · WP14 KCV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 66,041 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just eight days prior. The overall mechanical trend shows that the owner only addresses faults once they trigger an MOT failure, as evidenced by the immediate rectification of the offside front wheel bearing and tyre issues between the August 5th and 13th tests. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 66,041 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the specific issues seen in the record, such as perishing and cracking tyres and pitted brake discs. Between August 2024 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,148 miles, yet it still suffered mechanical failures involving suspension arm bushes and wheel bearings. This suggests the car may sit stationary for long periods, leading to degradation of rubber components despite low mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking system. The August 2024 test flagged excessively worn suspension arm bushes on both sides, and the August 2025 test identified a failing offside front wheel bearing. Furthermore, the brake discs on both front and rear axles showed signs of pitting and scoring, which is common in low-mileage cars that are infrequently. The cracking on rear tyres indicates the rubber is reaching its shelf life regardless of tread depth. You should also verify that all wheel fixing points are present and secure, as the vehicle previously failed for missing bolts on all four wheels.
