2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Diesel · WR60 CVF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive ownership pattern. While it passed the most recent test on 28 April 2026 at 95,042 miles, this followed two immediate failures within the same month. The trend shows a persistent failure to address mechanical faults before they trigger a failure, particularly regarding the exhaust system and engine emissions. The recurring presence of an unidentified oil leak suggests an ongoing mechanical issue that the owner has neglected to rectify. At 95,042 miles, this 16-year-old Fiat reflects a low annual average of approximately 5,940 miles per year. However, the data shows a recent burst of activity, with 6,598 miles covered between April 2025 and April 2026. This acceleration suggests the car may have sat for longer periods previously or is now used used. The low mileage correlates with visible degradation of rubber components, as evidenced by the perishing and cracking of tyres noted across the 2026 tests despite the low distance driven. A buyer must inspect the vehicle specifically for the structural and steering issues flagged in the record. The 2025 failure identified free play in the steering column lower joint and an excessively twisted nearside front brake hose, both which require physical verification to ensure safety. The exhaust system shows a history of corrosion, with a clamp corroding away and a corroded outer skin noted in multiple years. Furthermore, the consistent wear on the inner shoulders of the tyres in 2026 indicates a persistent alignment problem that needs professional correction to prevent premature tyre failure.
