2010 Fiat 500C 1.2L Petrol · SN10 NEB

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on 28 June 2025 at 134,276 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable but reactive, evidenced by a consistent pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. In both 2024 and 2025, the car failed the initial test only to be cleared within a few days or weeks. This suggests the previous owner addresses mechanical faults only when prompted by legal requirements rather than performing preventative maintenance to avoid test failures. At 134,276 miles over 16 years, the car has averaged approximately 8,400 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a small city car. The mileage data shows consistent use, with 6,360 miles covered between March 2023 and May 2024, and another 1,464 miles recorded between April 2024 and June 2025. This steady accumulation indicates the vehicle does not sit for long periods, which generally helps preserve rubber components and seals, though the high total mileage places significant stress on the drivetrain components. The lack of recorded advisories in the history is unusual for a vehicle of this age and mileage, suggesting the MOT tester did not flag minor wear on consumable items. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity, particularly the sills and wheel arches, where Fiat 500s are prone to corrosion. Given the high mileage, a close look at the suspension coil springs and rubber bushes is necessary to detect play or fatigue. The braking system should also be checked for binding calipers or thin discs, as the MOT record provides no insight into the actual condition of these critical safety components.
