Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but verify the recent MOT details. This 2010 Fiat 500 shows a consistent passing record with no recorded defects over the last four years.
When viewing this specific 1.2L variant, check the service history to ensure regular oil changes, as these smaller petrol engines require consistent maintenance. Since the most recent MOT in December 2025 recorded a failure followed immediately by a pass with no defects, ask the seller for clarification on what was rectified during that specific visit.
Negotiate based on the mileage; while the car has been used more than the statistical average for this model, the lack of recent advisories is a positive sign. Ensure you check the tyre tread and brake pad life, as these are common wear items not always captured in a single MOT pass.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy for this model is typically moderate, suitable for city commuting rather than long-distance motorway cruising.
Maintenance costs for the Fiat 500 are relatively predictable, though you should budget for common consumables. Given the current mileage, expect routine items like spark plugs or suspension components to require attention in the near future. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £900-£1,150 depending on your insurance profile and annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the suspension and steering components. Aggregate data for this model indicates that shock absorbers and suspension arms are frequent failure points in MOT tests. Even though no defects were recorded in the most recent tests, a physical inspection of the underside is advised.
Additionally, check the headlamps for clarity and alignment, as headlamp issues are a top failure reason for the Fiat 500 model range. Inspect the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate the suspension issues noted in the aggregate data.
This white 1.2L petrol Fiat 500 (DF10AUT) has covered 82,131 miles since its first registration in July 2010. The MOT history shows a sequence of passes from 2022 through to late 2025, with the most recent test showing no recorded defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 4,992 per year, the recent testing history suggests a stable period of operation.
Aggregate data from over 313,000 vehicles shows a 77.9% MOT pass rate, with common failures occurring in shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms.
