2010 FIAT 5001.2L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on August 5, 2025, 145,220 miles. While the current status is passing, the maintenance trend reveals a pattern of immediate failure followed by successful rectification. The car failed both the July 2024 and July 2025 tests before passing, suggesting that the owner only performs necessary repairs when prompted by an official test failure rather than following a preventative maintenance schedule. At 145,220 miles over 16 years, the vehicle has averaged approximately 9,076 miles per year. This aligns with typical annual usage for a small city car. The data shows a consistent usage pattern, with 11,758 miles covered between the July 2024 and 2025 tests. This steady mileage indicates the vehicle is not sat for long periods, though the high mileage places significant demand on rubber components, suspension bushings, and the drivetrain assembly. Because the record does not list specific advisories for the previous failures, a buyer must focus the physical inspection on the lower chassis and suspension geometry. Fiat 500 models of this era are prone to corrosion on the rear subframe and wear on the front wishbones. The buyer should check for play in the steering rack and inspect the brake lines for corrosion. Given the high mileage and the history of failures, verifying the clutch condition and the integrity of the exhaust system is essential to ensure the recent pass was not achieved through temporary fixes.
