2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DV10 LDA

The 2010 Fiat 500 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 28 May 2024 at 65,440 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in May 2023 and May 2022 also passed cleanly, indicating no escalating mechanical concerns across the observed period. Recorded mileage sits at 65,440 against an approximate 16-year lifespan, equating to roughly 4,090 miles per year and marking the vehicle as low-use for its age. The odometer moved only 212 miles between the May 2023 and May 2024 tests, and 1,869 miles across the 2021 to 2022 interval, showing consistently light annual accumulation. The single failure on 16 May 2023 at 65,228 miles carries no listed defects, with a pass issued eight days later at identical mileage, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair requirement. Given the clean advisory history, the MOT record reveals no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission faults across the five-year span. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop unseen corrosion absent from test advisories. Verify the brake calipers are free and the tyres retain age-appropriate flexibility, since long dormancy degrades rubber irrespective of tread depth.
