2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · DU10 AAN

The most recent MOT test conducted on 2nd March 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking at the recent history, the vehicle has undergone failed tests in both 2024 and 2026, but these were successfully rectified to secure clean passes. This indicates a maintenance trend where the vehicle is being inspected and brought up to standard, resulting in a stable and currently clean roadworthiness status without any outstanding advisories. With 83,475 miles recorded over approximately 16 years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 5,217 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the typical UK average, suggesting light usage. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can also indicate that the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. This usage pattern can lead to specific age-related issues that are not necessarily captured by the odometer reading. As a prospective buyer, you should focus your inspection on components that degrade over time regardless of distance. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as old rubber can become brittle and lose grip. Inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, which can occur from standing and may lead to binding calipers or uneven braking performance. During your test drive, listen for any suspension clunks or knocks, as rubber bushes and coil springs can perish and lose their integrity due to age. Additionally, verify that time-based servicing has been performed. Even with low mileage, engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant should be changed annually or biennially to prevent fluid degradation and internal corrosion. You should also check the 12V battery health, as infrequent use can lead to sulphation and reduced reliability. Finally, ensure the service book contains regular stamps to confirm the vehicle has been maintained according to the calendar rather than just the mileage.
