2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · PE60 WMF

This Fiat 500 has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness pattern over the past five years, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of its MOT tests. The most recent test on 2025-09-04 confirmed full compliance without failings, though the duplicate entry on the same date suggests a possible administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. There is no evidence of recurring faults or progressive wear in the official records, though this does not preclude hidden issues such as suspension degradation, brake binding, or structural corrosion that would not appear on a standard MOT. The vehicle’s mileage of 67,868 miles over 16 years—approximately 4,242 miles annually—indicates unusually light usage for its age. The consistent annual MOT testing without gaps suggests regular servicing was maintained, though the low mileage could also imply prolonged periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and battery health. The lack of rapid mileage accumulation between tests (for example, no sudden jumps between 2024 and 2025) further supports the idea of steady, low-intensity use rather than heavy or erratic driving. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, which are prone to cracking or deterioration even at low mileages. Brake calipers and binding mechanisms should be checked for corrosion or seized pistons, as these are common failure points in older vehicles with inconsistent usage. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants scrutiny for rust penetration, which can compromise the chassis. Additionally, the battery and electrical connections should be tested, as prolonged inactivity can lead to corrosion and reduced capacity. While the MOT history is clean, these areas are critical for long-term reliability.
