Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for immediate maintenance. While the car is running, the recurring MOT advisory items suggest a need for upcoming mechanical attention.
When viewing this specific vehicle, check the service history thoroughly to see how the 'not excessive' oil leak mentioned in the 2023, 2024, and 2025 MOTs has been managed. Ask if the rear suspension components, which have shown corrosion in both 2024 and 2025, have been treated or replaced.
Negotiate on the price based on the fact that it will likely require new tyres and potentially suspension work in the near future. Ensure the parking brake has been fully serviced, as it was a failure point in August 2024. A complete stamped service book is essential to ensure the 1.2L engine has been maintained despite the higher-than-average mileage.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, though fuel costs will depend on your driving style. As a 2010 model, insurance groups for the Fiat 500 are typically moderate, but you should obtain a specific quote based on your profile.
Maintenance costs for this model can fluctuate; while parts are widely available and relatively cheap, the recurring MOT advisories for tyres and suspension suggest you should budget more for consumables. Expect an annual running cost of approximately £1,100-£1,400 when accounting for fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus heavily on the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history for RV60AAU shows a persistent trend of rear suspension corrosion and an ongoing oil leak that has been noted for three consecutive years. Inspect the rear axle spring mounts to see if the corrosion noted in 2024 and 2025 has progressed.
Additionally, check the condition of all four tyres. The most recent MOT in September 2025 flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit. Finally, inspect the headlamp lenses, as the 2025 test noted a slight defect on the nearside front lamp.
This 2010 red Fiat 500 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 85,966 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,891 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically regarding tyre wear, oil leaks, and suspension corrosion. While it has passed its recent tests, the frequency of advisories indicates a vehicle that is beginning to show its age.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 78.7% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including suspension arms, headlamps, and tyres.
