Our Verdict
Proceed with caution but consider this a
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has received regular mechanical servicing, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from neglect. Check the service history for oil changes and fluid checks, which are vital for the 1.4L petrol engine.
When inspecting this specific car, ask for proof that the seat belt anchorage and speedometer issues noted in the 2023 failure were professionally rectified. Because the 2023 MOT highlighted multiple tyres with cracking or perishing, check the manufacture date on the current tyres to ensure they are relatively fresh and not showing signs of age-related degradation.
The 1368cc petrol engine is relatively small, typically placing it in a moderate insurance group and a reasonable tax band for a car of this era. Fuel economy for the 695 model is generally acceptable for a small performance-oriented hatchback, though driving style will heavily influence real-world MPG.
Maintenance costs for Fiats are generally manageable in the UK, but ensure you budget for specialist parts if it is a higher-specification version of the 695. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, would fall in the range of £1,100-£1,400 depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the items that caused the 2023 MOT failure. Specifically, check the nearside front seat belt anchorage to ensure it is firmly secured and meets safety standards. Test the speedometer thoroughly to ensure it functions accurately and without impairment, as this was a recorded failure point.
Examine all four tyres for any signs of 'perishing' or cracking on the sidewalls, as the 2023 record indicated multiple tyres were suffering from this. Additionally, check the rear registration plate to ensure it is securely mounted, addressing the previous failure point, and inspect the brake components and suspension, as these are standard areas of interest for this model.
This 2013 grey Fiat 695 has covered 22,361 miles as of its June 2024 MOT, which is significantly lower than average for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The MOT history shows a period of concern in April 2023 involving multiple tyre defects, a loose seat belt anchorage, and a speedometer issue, all of which were resolved for the subsequent pass. The most recent record shows no defects, suggesting the previously noted issues were addressed.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Fiat 695 to provide a comparative benchmark.
