2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · RF59 CVX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful inspection on March 12, 2026. The maintenance trend shows an improving pattern, as the car moved from two consecutive failures on that same day to a clean pass. While the record indicates a history of failing to meet standards initially, the lack of recorded advisories in the 2026 test suggests that the owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to a legal standard. At 69,991 miles, the car reflects a significantly low mileage for its sixteen-year age bracket, averaging approximately 4,374 miles per year. Between the March 2025 test and the March 2026 test, the vehicle covered only 5,814 miles. This low-frequency usage suggests short-distance trips, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. However, such low mileage on a vehicle of this age often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and surface corrosion due to lack of heat and mechanical movement. The absence of specific defect data in the provided history makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact mechanical failures, but the recurring failures in 2025 and 2026 indicate a vehicle that was prone to immediate faults. A buyer must perform a physical inspection of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these often perish on low-mileage Fiat 500s. Check the brake discs for heavy pitting and the calipers for binding, as long periods of standing can cause the braking system to seize. Verify the structural integrity of the underbody to ensure rust has not compromised the chassis over the years of service.
