2014 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WV64 NTN

The vehicle passed the July 2 2026 MOT at 67,431 miles with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness is satisfactory. However, the trend shows recurring suspension arm pin/bush wear and tyre wear, with the 2025-08-29 test flagging offside front lower suspension arm pin or bush worn but not excessive movement, and near side front tyre worn close to legal limit. The 2025-08-26 failure repeated similar suspension issues and tyre wear, suggesting a persistent but not worsening condition. Mileage shows a gradual increase from 30,272 miles in August 2018 to 67,431 miles in July 2026, averaging about 5,600 miles per year, which is low for a 12‑year‑old car. The record is relatively clean with no major mileage jumps; the largest increase occurred between the 2024‑08‑30 test at 59,950 miles and the 2026‑07‑02 test, a rise of 7,481 miles over 23 months, indicating normal usage rather than rapid accumulation. Also, rear suspension mounting corrosion has been recorded since 2021, and rear brake pipe corrosion appeared in 2020, indicating potential structural rust that should be examined. The tyre wear pattern, consistently near legal limits, points to possible alignment or suspension issues that a buyer should verify. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and pins for excessive play, check the integrity of the rear axle and coil spring mounting areas for corrosion, verify the state of the rear brake pipes and shock absorber bushes, and assess tyre tread depth and wear patterns. Addressing these points will confirm whether the vehicle remains structurally sound and mechanically reliable beyond the recent MOT pass.
