Our Verdict
A sensible choice for urban driving, provided you verify the recent repair work. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing tests after minor failures.
When viewing this specific 1.2L petrol model, ask the seller for documentation regarding the repairs made following the MOT failures in September 2024 and September 2025. Because these failures occurred only days before a successful pass, it is vital to know exactly what was rectified to ensure the vehicle is roadworthy.
Check the service history for regular oil changes, which is critical for the 1242cc engine. Given the mileage is roughly 5,240 miles per year—higher than the aggregate average for this model—ensure that tyres and brakes have been inspected recently, as these are common maintenance items for this vehicle type.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it relatively affordable for city drivers. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but it is designed for efficiency in urban environments.
Typical maintenance costs for a Fiat 500 of this age include regular consumable replacements like tyres and brake pads. Expect annual running costs to be moderate, factoring in fuel, insurance, and scheduled servicing.
Based on the aggregate data for this model, you should pay close attention to the shock absorbers and tyre condition. While this specific vehicle's MOT history does not list the specific reasons for its 2024 and 2025 failures, these are the most common failure points for the Fiat 500 fleet.
Additionally, inspect the headlamps for clarity and functionality, as lighting issues are a frequent cause of MOT failure for this model. Check the underside for any signs of excessive wear that might suggest suspension issues.
This 2013 white Fiat 500 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 68,120 miles over approximately 13 years. The MOT history shows a pattern of failing and then passing within the same week, most recently in September 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,003 miles per year, the recent records show no current defects.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failures related to shock absorbers, tyres, and headlamps.
