2010 Fiat 500 1.2L Petrol · YR60 DLX

The 2010 Fiat 500 presents a stable and reassuring roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT, conducted on 30 April 2025 at 128,090 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean bill of health, following a failed test just five days prior on 25 April 2025 at 128,062 miles (also with no defects recorded, suggesting a retest after a procedural or administrative issue), indicates the vehicle was in sound mechanical order at its last inspection. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring faults or advisories appearing across the entire recorded history. The mileage accumulation is consistent and typical for a vehicle of this age. Between the 2023 test on 4 May 2023 at 117,224 miles and the 2025 test at 128,090 miles, the car covered approximately 10,866 miles over a two-year period, averaging around 5,433 miles annually. This is slightly below the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 8,006 miles per year, suggesting lighter recent use or a change in ownership pattern. The record is notably sparse, with only five entries spanning three years, and no MOT history provided for the period between 2010 and 2023. The data that exists, however, is entirely clean. Despite the unblemished MOT record, a buyer should conduct a thorough in-person inspection focused on areas the MOT does not fully assess. The Fiat 500's compact platform is prone to corrosion on inner wheel arches, sills, and subframes, particularly around the rear suspension mounting points. Check for surface rust or structural weakening underneath, as the MOT only examines corrosion to prescribed areas and may not capture early-stage deterioration. Inspect the condition of the front suspension lower arms and bushes for play, and examine the exhaust system for leaks or deterioration, as these are common failure points on higher-mileage examples. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for uneven wear or binding, even though no faults were flagged at the last test. Tyre condition and age are also worth verifying, as older tyres may show cracking regardless of tread depth. Given the absence of any recorded advisories or failures, this example appears well-maintained on paper, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm its condition beneath the surface.
