2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WN10 WME

The vehicle presents a current roadworthy status following the February 2026 test, where it passed at 82,185 miles with no defects logged. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the record shows a peculiar pattern of consecutive failures and a pass within a single day in both February 2025 and February 2026, all with zero defects recorded. This suggests administrative re-tests rather than resolved mechanical faults, and implies the keeper addressed minor presentation issues or paperwork before final approval. Mileage sits at 82,185 against a 2010 build, averaging roughly 5,137 miles per year. The odometer moved only 645 miles between the January 2025 failure at 81,517 and the February 2026 pass at 82,185, confirming very light use. Such low annual coverage over sixteen years often means long standing periods, which accelerates rubber perishing in suspension bushes, degraded brake caliper seals, and surface corrosion on structural underbody members even when test results show clean. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the Fiat's suspension arms and front subframe for rust, as MOT testers recorded no advisories but low-mileage cars rot quietly if stored damp. Check the brake discs and calipers for binding after storage, and verify the exhaust emissions system is sound given the repeated zero-defect failures point to test-centre process rather than confirmed component health. The absence of logged advisories across five tests indicates no worsening wear trend in the official data. Treat the clean record with measured caution, as the same-day fail-pass pairs imply the vehicle may have been presented multiple times to clear a non-mechanical blocker before the certificate issued.
