2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · SW10 AEG

The 2025‑12‑08 MOT at 66,513 miles confirms the 2010 Fiat 500 remains roadworthy, and the absence of failures since the 2024‑11‑27 remedial test indicates a stable maintenance trend. Mileage has risen steadily from 15,570 miles in 2013 to 66,513 miles in 2025, averaging roughly 5,000 miles per year, which aligns with the vehicle’s 16‑year age and suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing. Recent mileage increase slowed to about 1,670 miles between December 2024 and July 2026. Recurring observations include persistent wear of the front Macpherson strut bushes and ball joints, first noted in 2018 and repeated through 2024, as well as repeated pitting of the front brake discs since 2022; the exhaust mounting clamp has been defective since 2021, and coil springs show corrosion dating back to 2019, indicating ongoing exposure to harsh conditions or delayed component renewal. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and ball joints for excessive play, examine the brake discs for deep scoring or cracking, verify the integrity of the exhaust system and mounting brackets, assess tyre tread depth and pressure, test the washer jets for adequate spray, and look for any signs of fluid leakage or structural rust that could compromise safety.
