FIAT 5002010 · 1.4L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on 13 February 2026 at 120,855 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the history reveals a recurring pattern of immediate failure followed by a successful rectification. In both 2025 and 2026, the car failed the test just days before a successful result, suggesting that minor defects such as bulbs, wiper blades, or minor mechanical adjustments are being addressed by the owner only when the MOT deadline is imminent. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle for its sixteen years, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the car covered 3,920 miles, while it covered 3,780 miles in the year leading up to the February 2026 test. This low annual mileage often indicates short-distance trips, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of corrosion and the degradation of rubber-based suspension bushes due to lack of consistent mechanical movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and under-body components, as older Fiat 500s are prone to rust on the sills and rear floor pans. While the record shows no current advisories, the low mileage necessitates a thorough check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension components resulting from age. Given the history of failing immediately before passing, one should also inspect the tyres for sidewall shrinkage and verify that fluid levels are being maintained to ensure the vehicle is cared for during periods of use rather than just meeting the requirements of the annual test.
