Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent MOT f
When negotiating on this specific BK15KKD registration, ask for evidence of the repairs carried out following the April 2026 MOT failure. Because the 2025 and 2026 tests both involved failures, you should request a detailed service history to see if these issues were addressed promptly.
Check the tyre tread depth and the condition of the suspension components during your inspection. Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the shock absorbers and headlamps, as these are common failure points for the Fiat 500 across the wider fleet.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a moderate insurance group and tax band, making it accessible for many drivers. Fuel economy will depend on driving style, but as a small petrol engine, it is typically efficient for urban use.
Maintenance costs for this model can vary, but you should budget for more frequent consumable replacements like tyres and bulbs. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,100-£1,400.
Focus your inspection on the suspension system, specifically the shock absorbers, as this is a top failure reason for this model type. Since the most recent MOT in April 2026 resulted in a failure, ensure that whatever defect caused that failure has been professionally rectified.
Additionally, check the condition of all exterior lighting, particularly the headlamps, and the tread and sidewall integrity of the tyres. Given the vehicle has reached nearly 98,000 miles, also inspect for any signs of wear in the braking system and underside components.
This 2015 white Fiat 500 with a 1.2L petrol engine has covered 97,818 miles since its first registration in March 2015. The MOT history shows a mixed record, with two failures recorded in the last three years, most recently in April 2026. The mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 5,003 miles per year.
Aggregate data from over 300,000 vehicles shows a 77.8% MOT pass rate, with common failures relating to shock absorbers, tyres, and headlamps.
