Our Verdict
Proceed with extreme caution. This vehic
Prior to purchasing, you must have a qualified mechanic inspect the sub-frame and rear suspension mounting points. The December 2025 MOT specifically noted that the nearside and offside front sub-frames are corroded, and a previous failure noted significant corrosion on the offside rear suspension spring mounting. These are structural issues that can be costly to rectify.
Negotiate the price downwards to account for the potential need for welding or structural repairs. Ensure you ask for a detailed service history to see if the cooling fan and suspension components mentioned in the MOT history have been replaced or repaired, rather than just being noted as defects.
The 1242cc petrol engine is generally economical for city driving, typically falling into a moderate insurance group and tax band suitable for a small hatchback. However, maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the age and the specific mechanical issues noted, such as the cooling fan and anti-roll bar linkages.
Given the high mileage, you should budget for more frequent replacement of wear-and-tear items like brakes, tyres, and suspension components. An estimated annual running cost for this vehicle, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500, depending on your driving habits.
Focus heavily on the underside of the car. The MOT history specifically highlights corrosion on the front sub-frame and the offside rear suspension spring mounting. You should check if these areas have been treated or if the corrosion is progressing.
Additionally, inspect the cooling system, as the most recent test recorded a noisy cooling fan. Check the lighting, specifically the Daytime Running Lights (DRL), which were recorded as inoperative on both sides in late 2025. Finally, examine the suspension components, particularly the anti-roll bar linkages and ball joints, which have appeared as points of failure or advisory in multiple recent tests.
This 2010 blue Fiat 500 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 107,447 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average of 4,986 miles per year. While it has passed its last few tests, the most recent MOT in December 2025 revealed multiple issues, including sub-frame corrosion and suspension mounting concerns. The vehicle's history shows a pattern of increasing mechanical and structural advisories as mileage has climbed.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failures involving shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms.
