2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · DV60 TLJ

The 2010 FIAT 500’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-18 at 93,116 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the same date includes a failed test with identical mileage, suggesting a data inconsistency or retest. Prior MOTs in 2024 and 2023 showed passes at 86,702 and 75,069 miles, respectively, with no defects noted. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has not accumulated recurring mechanical issues over the past three years. No advisories or critical failures are documented, indicating the owner has maintained compliance with road safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 93,116 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 5,820 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage may reflect infrequent driving or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, battery life, and fluid degradation. The 2024-06-19 test at 86,702 miles showed a 11,633-mile increase from 2023, followed by a 6,414-mile rise to 93,116 by 2025. These gaps suggest irregular usage patterns, though no major mechanical faults were recorded. A buyer should inspect the underbody for corrosion, particularly around the exhaust system and chassis, given the vehicle’s age. Check suspension components, including coil springs and bushings, for wear, as low mileage can mask gradual degradation. Verify brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding, as these are common in older models. The absence of recorded defects in MOTs is positive, but physical inspection remains crucial to confirm the vehicle’s condition, especially if the 2025 failed test was a result of minor non-compliance.
