2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · M19 FAH

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent 2026-03-03 MOT at 25,262 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2026 show consistent passing results, indicating effective maintenance and no emerging mechanical issues. The absence of advisories or failures across six consecutive MOTs suggests the car has been well-kept, with no recurring faults requiring urgent attention. The mileage of 25,262 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 1,579 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. Notable gaps between tests, such as the 2,091-mile increase from 2024-03-04 (22,536 miles) to 2025-02-27 (24,627 miles), suggest periods of reduced activity, which may affect component longevity. While low mileage often correlates with less wear on consumables, it can also lead to issues like dry joints or degraded rubber parts if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. A buyer should inspect suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, for dryness or cracking, as low-mileage vehicles may experience premature aging. Brake systems, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny for binding or uneven wear, as these can develop without regular use. Structural integrity should be confirmed via a body check for rust, especially in areas prone to corrosion, such as wheel arches or underbody panels. The MOT history provides no evidence of such issues, but physical inspection remains critical to validate the car’s condition.
