Safety recalls

Attention

Safety recalls may affect this vehicle.

  1. 1 Recall R/2014/088 Interior and exterior vehicle lighting may fail

    Defect: It is possible under extreme conditions that the wiring harness under the dashboard could come into contact with the steering column. This over a period of time may result in the chaffing of wires in the harness. If this should occur then it is possible both the exterior and instrument lights could fail.

    Remedy: Recall all affected vehicles to provide additional security of the wiring loom.

  2. 2 Recall R/2012/139 Braking efficiency may be reduced

    Defect: A connector on the brake servo pipe may fail and cause a loss of vacuum assistance necessitating the driver to include additional effort when braking.

    Remedy: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit a new brake servo pipe.

What should I do?

Contact the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to confirm whether these recalls affect this car and whether any work is required.

Accident history

Full History Report

Insurers record a car as a write-off (Category A, B, S or N) when it’s too damaged or too costly to repair. A repaired write-off can be sold again, but it’s worth less.

Frequently asked questions

What’s the difference between a Basic Car Report and a Full History Report?

This Basic Car Report is free and built from public DVLA and DVSA records for SV62 ZDW: its MOT history, the mileage recorded at each MOT, tax and SORN status, ULEZ status and safety recalls where available. The Full History Report adds the checks those public records can’t show: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, police stolen records, previous owners, plate changes and mileage records from beyond the MOT.

How can I check if a car has outstanding finance or has been stolen?

Neither is in the Basic Car Report, because public DVLA and DVSA records don’t include finance agreements or police stolen reports; they come from separate finance and police data. The Full History Report checks both for SV62 ZDW, along with write-offs and previous owners, before you hand over any money.

What should I check before buying a used car?

Start with the public checks in this report: the MOT history for repeat failures and advisories, mileage readings that rise steadily, tax and SORN status, and any outstanding safety recalls. Then check what public records don’t show: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, stolen records and ownership history. Finally, see the car in person and make sure the V5C logbook and VIN match the car and the seller.

What should I check before buying a used Fiat?

Fiats fail their MOT most often on suspension: 26% of their failures, against 20% for all cars. In this car’s MOT history above, look for failures and advisories in that area and ask whether they were fixed.

Are Fiats reliable used cars?

MOT results are a useful public guide. In 2025, Fiats passed 67.7% of their initial MOT tests, 4.6 points below the 72.3% average for all cars and 48th of 63 makes. Older ones pass less often, 84.6% at 3 to 5 years old against 60.2% at 11 years and over, so how this car has been looked after matters most: its MOT history above is the best evidence. Compare every Fiat model’s MOT record.
