2014 Fiat 500 L 1.4L Petrol · YM63 MBF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in December 2025 at 75,979 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of significant degradation between late 2023 and early 2025. While the most recent test cleared all recorded defects, the previous history indicates a failure to address developing suspension and braking issues in a timely manner, leading to an MOT failure at the end of 2024. At 75,979 miles over 12 years, the car averages approximately 6,300 miles per year, which is consistent with low-to-moderate urban usage. There is a notable spike in usage of 13,796 miles recorded between November 2023 and December 2024. This period of higher mileage correlates with the appearance of multiple mechanical advisories, suggesting the vehicle was subjected to heavier use during this window which accelerated the wear on rubber and metal components. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension assembly. The records from the 2024 and January 2025 tests repeatedly flagged light misting on both front shock absorbers and wear in the front suspension arm bushes. Although these were cleared in the latest test, misting oil indicates the seals are beginning to fail, which will eventually lead to a fluid leak. The rear brake discs also require scrutiny, as they were noted as pitted and scored in early 2025, indicating surface corrosion common in low-mileage cars that sit for extended periods.
