2010 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · LM10 SFK

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor , as a single MOT failure in 2024 indicates a significant deterioration in mechanical integrity. This single incident, which occurred just a few months after the most recent test on 2026-04-17, suggests that the vehicle's condition has not been stabilizing or improving; rather, it has shown an accelerating trend of wear and failure. The failure in 2024 was not merely a cosmetic issue but a confirmed technical failure, specifically regarding the parking brake, which requires a 50% efficiency rating and is a critical safety component. The mileage pattern reveals a clear accumulation of wear that outpaces typical usage for a 2010 FIAT 500C, which is approximately 9,554 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the 2026-04-17 and 2025-04-03 tests, where the vehicle accumulated 2,371 miles in a single month, and then another 2,383 miles in the same period in 2025, followed by a 1,453-mile gap in April 2024. This rapid mileage increase, particularly the 2,371-mile gap in early 2025, indicates that the owner has been relying on a very low level of maintenance, likely due to the vehicle's age and the high mileage already recorded. Given the recurring faults and the accelerating trend, the vehicle requires immediate and thorough inspection in person. The most critical structural risks include the front and rear coil springs, which have been corroded on both sides in both 2024 and 2025 tests, and the suspension arm pins and bushings which have been worn in all tested years. These components are prone to catastrophic failure under load and must be replaced immediately. Additionally, the parking brake system, which failed in 2024, is a high-priority safety violation that must be addressed before re-qualifying the vehicle.
