2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · LP59 FUW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on February 9 2026 at 71,088 miles. The maintenance history shows a stable trend where the car consistently meets minimum legal standards despite initial failures in each testing cycle. The presence of failures in both 2025 and 2026 suggests that the previous owner was reactive rather than proactive, addressing defects only after they prevented a MOT re-test pass. At 16 years old, the recorded mileage of 71,088 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 4,443 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between February 2024 and February 2025, where the vehicle covered only 1,771 miles in a year. However, the mileage increased by 6,167 miles between the February 2025 and February 2026 tests. This low-use pattern often leads to age-related issues, such as the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from high-distance driving. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension, as low-mileage vehicles are prone to corrosion and perished bushings from long periods of standing. Check for rust on the sills and exhaust mounting points, which are common failure points for this model. Given the recurring MOT failures prior to passes, a thorough check of the brake system for seized calipers or leaks is necessary to ensure that the issues addressed in the previous tests were properly rectified rather than merely masked.
