2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · AV10 SJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward recurring age-related wear. In the most recent test on 30 May 2026 at 80,800 miles, the car passed despite an advisory for an offside rear tyre showing cracking and perishing. This follows a similar warning from May 2023 at 78,342 miles, suggesting that while the vehicle remains functional, rubber components are deteriorating due to age rather than distance travelled. At 80,800 miles, the vehicle reflects significantly low usage for its age, averaging approximately 5,050 miles per year. The mileage progression is consistent, with intervals of roughly 800 to 1,000 miles between the annual tests from 2022 to 2026. This low-mileage profile indicates less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it frequently correlates with the aforementioned perishing tyres and the degradation of seals when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the nearside rear service brake was noted to be binding in June 2025 at 80,372 miles. Binding calipers often indicate seized pistons or corroded slides, which can lead to uneven pad wear and reduced braking efficiency. Furthermore, all four tyres should be evaluated for sidewall cracking and dry rot, as the history confirms the compound is reaching the end of its structural integrity despite sufficient tread depth. Given the age and low mileage, a physical check of the artwork for surface corrosion is also advisable to ensure the low use hasn't been masked by neglect.
