2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WT14 NLL

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 73,400 miles passed, it revealed several advisories including a minor oil leak and perished tyre rubber. The trend shows a pattern of addressing consumables only upon failure, evidenced by the October 2024 test where three tyres were nearing the legal limit and brake pads were flagged as being worn thin very low. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use city-run car, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 50,079 miles and November 2025 at 73,400 miles, the vehicle covered 23,321 miles. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not been sitting excessively, but the long intervals between tests sometimes mask rubber-based component degradation, such as the cracking on the nearside rear tyre noted in the 2025 record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension closely, as the 2024 test flagged oil misting on the nearside front shock absorber which often precedes a total seal failure. The recurring windscreen damage noted from 2021 through 2025 requires a physical check to ensure chips have not propagated into structural fractures. Furthermore, the oil leak identified in the November 2025 test warrants an under-car inspection to determine if it is a minor valve cover gasket or a more significant seal failure that could require expensive intervention.
