2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · FP10 EFZ

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, following a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in April 2025 at 125,404 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that any previous mechanical or safety issues were addressed and rectified. While the history shows failures in 2023 and 2024, the subsequent clean passes suggest the current owner is proactive in resolving immediate faults identified by the DVSA testers. At 125,404 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,800 miles per annum, which is consistent with typical UK usage patterns for a small city car. The data shows a significant gap of over 10,000 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 1,000 miles in the seven months leading up to the 2024 test. This intermittent usage suggests periods of relative inactivity, which can occasionally lead to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most prone to wear on this model at this age. Despite the recent clean MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a thorough check of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and rear sills where corrosion on the Fiat 500 chassis is known to manifest. The braking system should also be inspected for signs of binding calipers or thinning brake discs. Given the vehicle's age, verifying the structural integrity of the underbody is essential to ensure that no hidden corrosion has developed since the last annual test.
