2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WM10 NBD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a concerning trend regarding structural integrity. While it passed its latest test on 4 June 2026 at 66,636 miles, it had failed immediately due to a nearside rear position lamp fault and persistent underbody corrosion. The recurring mention of general underbody corrosion across the 2025 and 2026 tests suggests that rust is a developing issue that requires monitoring despite the passing mechanical components. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,165 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between the June 2024 test at 64,832 miles and the June 2025 test at 66,008 miles, representing only 1,176 miles in a year. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of seals, rubber components, and metal surfaces due to moisture retention during periods of inactivity. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the depth of the corrosion flagged in the most recent records. Because the rust has been noted consistently for two years, it is vital to check the structural members, sills, and mounting points for perforations rather than just surface scaling. Additionally, given the low annual mileage and age, the tyres should be inspected for sidewalling cracks or de-lamination regardless of remaining tread depth.
