2014 Fiat 500 0.9L Petrol · Y88 LLW

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with six consecutive clean MOT passes since August 2020, including the most recent test on 6 August 2026. Aside from a single failure in 2020 involving a worn suspension ball joint and an ineffective windscreen wiper, the vehicle has presented no defects or advisories for over five years. This indicates a stable trend in the vehicle's presentation at test. The recorded mileage of 63,547 miles is low for a twelve year old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,296 miles per year. Such a low annual accumulation typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and major engine components compared to high-mileage examples. While the recent records are clean, the 2020 failure of the nearside front lower suspension arm ball joint indicates a point of previous wear. During a test drive, pay close attention to the front end for any knocking or clicking sounds when traversing uneven road surfaces or when turning the steering wheel at low speeds. Ensure the steering feels precise and devoid of any vague movement or shuddering, which would indicate that the replacement part or surrounding suspension bushes are now wearing. Verify the operation of all windscreen wipers and washer jets to ensure the previously failed nearside wiper is functioning correctly and clearing the glass without streaking. Given the age of the vehicle, a physical inspection of the underside for any signs of corrosion on the subframe or brake pipes is advisable, as these are common areas for wear that may not always be captured if the vehicle is clean.
