In total 14 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.
Recorded failure items include: “Engine MIL inoperative or indicates a malfunction (8.2.2.2 (g))”; “Exhaust emissions test not completed because smoke levels are significantly in excess of the specified limit values (8.2”; “Parking brake efficiency below requirements (1.4.2 (a) (i))”.
Common Problems: FIAT 500L
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Dualogic Actuator / Clutch Failure(Serious)
The automated manual gearbox struggles with the weight of the 500L, leading to premature clutch wear and actuator faults.
- TwinAir oil consumption and drive-belt failure(Moderate)
The 0.9 TwinAir engine is sensitive to oil quality and level. Excessive oil consumption and small oil leaks can cause the drive belt to deteriorate or snap, potentially damaging the alternator and other ancillaries. Regular oil checks and belt inspections are essential.
- DPF clogging on diesel models(Moderate)
The 1.3 MultiJet diesel requires regular motorway use to keep its DPF regenerating. Short urban journeys cause the filter to clog, triggering limp mode and expensive forced-regeneration or replacement work.
