FIAT 5002010 · 1.2L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status following a period of inconsistency in its testing history. The most recent inspection in September 2025 at 101,521 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical or safety issues have been addressed. While the car experienced failures in late 2023 and mid-2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the owner is now proactive with necessary repairs to maintain legal compliance. The recorded mileage of 101,521 miles over 16 years reflects a low annual average of approximately 6,345 miles, which is consistent with a light-use profile for a city car. The data shows a significant deceleration in usage during recent years, with only 631 miles covered between January 2024 and September 2024, and just 396 miles recorded in the final year. This pattern of low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that likely caused the failures in December 2023 and September 2024, as the record does not specify the exact fault points. One must check for common Fiat 500 weak points such as perished suspension bushes, leaking dampers, and structural corrosion on the sills or rear wheel arches. Given the low mileage, it is vital to inspect the braking system for seized calipers and perished tyres, which often occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended intervals.
