2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WR14 AWY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 78,716 miles secured a pass with only a minor advisory for a perished tyre, the failure just one month prior reveals significant mechanical neglect. The transition from a major failure involving multiple brake lines and suspension components to a pass indicates that essential repairs were only addressed when necessary to pass the legal test. At 78,716 miles over twelve years, this Fiat 500 has averaged approximately 6,500 miles per year, which is consistent with typical low-urban usage. However, the data shows a spike in activity between March 2024 (68,269 miles) and October 2025 (78,061 miles), covering nearly 10,000 miles in 19 months. This usage frequency likely correlates with the accelerated wear seen on the braking system and the deterioration of rubber components noted in the later records. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system and structural integrity. The October 2025 failure flagged extensive corrosion across all four brake pipes, specifically where they meet the hoses, which suggests a damp environment or lack of underbody cleaning. The tester also identified corrosion on the rear axle beam and debonded bushes on the front lower suspension arms. Although these were noted as not seriously weakened, the presence of rust on the structural beam indicates the vehicle is susceptible to future structural failure if the corrosion is not monitored.
