2010 Fiat 500 1.4L Petrol · FY60 MKA

This 2010 Fiat 500 holds a stable roadworthiness record, culminating in a clean pass on 11 November 2025 at 34,874 miles. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement following a rough patch in the early 2020s, with consecutive trouble-free tests logged over the last two annual inspections. Previous failures and advisories stem from standard consumable wear rather than deep-seated structural neglect, indicating that recent keepers have addressed mechanical shortcomings promptly. Low annual usage defines the vehicle lifespan, accumulating just 34,874 miles across sixteen years at a steady average of roughly 2,180 miles per annum. The testing cadence remains consistently annual with no suspicious gaps or dormant periods, evidenced by the 2,924 miles covered between the October 2022 test at 27,862 miles and the November 2023 test at 30,447 miles. This predictable accumulation suggests the car has seen light, regular town or local driving rather than sitting neglected for years at a time. Prospective buyers should prioritize inspecting the suspension and exhaust systems during an in-person viewing. The MOT history flags recurring exhaust back box corrosion in 2018 and 2021 alongside a deteriorating rear silencer in 2020, meaning the current exhaust longevity requires verification underneath. Both rear coil springs required replacement due to heavy corrosion during the November 2023 failure at 30,447 miles, so checking the condition of the newly fitted springs and looking for early signs of subframe or floorpan rust is essential. Front suspension arm bushes showed slight debonding back in 2021, and tracking these minor rubber components alongside tyre inner shoulder wear patterns will ensure the steering geometry remains true.
