2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SP60 YCG

The 2010 Fiat 500 presents a completely clean MOT record across all five entries, with the most recent test conducted on 15 September 2025 at 36,961 miles returning zero defects, zero advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and improving in the sense that no faults have ever been recorded, suggesting consistent baseline upkeep throughout the vehicle's life. A pass with no defects at the most recent test indicates that core safety systems, structural integrity, and exhaust emissions all met DVSA standards as of nine months ago. The mileage profile is notably low. At roughly 2,310 miles per year over sixteen years, this car has seen light use. The annual intervals between tests show steady accumulation: 2,882 miles between September 2022 and September 2023, 2,882 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and 4,850 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. That final jump is the largest annual increase in the record, though still modest in absolute terms. No gaps appear in the MOT history, with tests completed consistently each September, indicating the vehicle has remained in active use rather than sitting stationary for extended periods. Despite the clean paper record, a buyer should still inspect the underside for corrosion, paying particular attention to suspension mounting points, brake lines, and the exhaust system, as these components on a sixteen-year-old city car can deteriorate regardless of mileage. The front suspension lower arms and rear axle should be checked for surface rust or pitting that may not yet constitute an MOT failure but could signal advancing deterioration. Brake discs and pads deserve close inspection given the low annual mileage, as infrequent use can lead to uneven pad deposits and disc corrosion rather than even wear. Tyre condition should be verified, as older rubber can perish through age even with ample tread remaining. The engine and gearbox mounts, along with all rubber bushes, should be examined for perishing consistent with a vehicle of this age. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but it does not substitute for a hands-on mechanical inspection given the car's age.
