2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SL10 OLH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the maintenance trend showing a transition from reactive repairs to minor preventative upkeep. In the most recent test in September 2025 at 37,936 miles, the car passed with only a minor advisory regarding smearing wiper blades. This follows a successful pass in 2024 where a previously corroded exhaust system had been rectified, indicating that the mechanical failures identified in earlier inspections have been addressed by the current owner. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2010 registration, averaging only approximately 2,370 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between August 2022 and September 2023, where the vehicle covered only 2,257 miles, followed by even slower accumulation in the most recent year. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal corrosion due to lack of thermal cycling and airflow. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and exhaust system, specifically noting the recorded failure in August 2022 due to an heavily worn offside rear shock absorber bush. While this was resolved, the low-use nature of the car increases that other bushings and seals have perished or seized. The recurring issue of the back box outer skin corroding in both 2022 and 2024 suggests the system is prone to rust; therefore, a check for structural integrity around the exhaust mounting points is necessary to ensure no new corrosion has developed beyond the surface level.
