2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · WN60 CJE

The most recent MOT in March 2026 at 48,673 miles passed with no defects, confirming the vehicle met minimum roadworthiness standards at that point. The maintenance trend is stable, as all tests from 2024 to 2026 show no recorded defects, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, the two failures in February 2025 and February 2026, both with no defects recorded, likely indicate administrative or procedural issues rather than mechanical problems, but this pattern warrants caution. The mileage pattern is low for a 16-year-old car, averaging roughly 3,000 miles per year. The recorded mileage rose from 41,758 in March 2024 to 48,673 in March 2026, a linear increase of about 7,000 miles over two years. This suggests light, consistent use rather than prolonged standing, which reduces risk of seized components but does not eliminate age-related deterioration. Despite the clean MOT record, a 2010 Fiat 500 is prone to structural corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines. A buyer should inspect for rust on the chassis and check the condition of rubber bushes, coil springs, and exhaust system. Brake discs and pads may show surface corrosion from infrequent use, and the handbrake mechanism should be tested for binding. The absence of recorded defects does not replace a thorough pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic.
