Our Verdict
A highly recommended example of the Fiat
Given the low mileage, the primary focus should be on the service history. Specifically, check if the timing belt (cambelt) has been replaced; these are typically replaced based on age rather than mileage, and a 2012 model is due for a change if it hasn't been done.
Verify that the low mileage is reflected in the interior wear. When negotiating, consider the age of the tyres; on vehicles with very low annual mileage, tyres can perish and develop cracks in the sidewalls even if the tread depth remains legal.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, keeping fuel costs low for city driving. This model typically falls into a low insurance group, making it an affordable option for new drivers or those seeking a second car.
Annual costs are kept down by the small engine capacity, though maintenance should focus on preventing the issues associated with low-usage vehicles, such as battery degradation or perished rubber seals.
While this specific vehicle has a clean MOT record with no defects since 2022, you should still check for common model weak points. Inspect the shock absorbers and headlamps, as these are among the top failure reasons for the Fiat 500 across the wider fleet.
Pay close attention to the tyres for any signs of age-related cracking. Additionally, check the underbody for any surface corrosion, although the lack of MOT defects suggests the structural integrity is currently sound.
This white 2012 Fiat 500 has recorded 40,544 miles, which is significantly below the average for its age. The MOT history from 2022 to 2025 shows four consecutive passes with no defects or advisories recorded. It presents as a low-usage petrol vehicle with a consistent testing record.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with the most common failures involving shock absorbers, tyres, and headlamps.
