Our Verdict
Caution is advised – the vehicle’s high
Ask for a full service history and verify whether the brake discs and pads have been replaced since the November 2026 failure. If the seller cannot provide evidence of recent brake work, factor the cost of a complete brake overhaul into your offer. It is also worth checking if the tyre cuts and wheel distortion have been addressed, as these were flagged in multiple tests.
When negotiating, use the high mileage (175,243 miles) and the pattern of MOT advisories as leverage to request a price reduction or a guarantee that the brakes, tyres and suspension will be serviced before purchase. Consider obtaining an independent mechanical inspection focused on the braking system, tyre condition, and suspension bushings to avoid unexpected expenses.
If the vehicle is priced significantly below market for a 2019 Fiat 500, ensure that any discount reflects the anticipated cost of remedial work. Alternatively, you may decide to look for a similar model with lower mileage and a cleaner MOT record to minimise risk.
The 1.2‑litre petrol engine in this Fiat 500 typically achieves around 55 mpg, placing it in a low fuel‑cost bracket. Assuming an annual mileage of about 8,000 miles, fuel expenses would be roughly £1,200‑£1,400 per year at current fuel prices.
Road tax for a Euro 6 small‑engine vehicle is currently £0, and the insurance group usually falls between 15 and 20, resulting in an annual premium of approximately £500‑£700 depending on driver profile. Given the vehicle’s age and mileage, routine maintenance (brake service, tyre replacement, suspension checks) can add another £300‑£500 annually. Overall, expect total running costs in the region of £2,000‑£2,600 per year.
Inspect the front brake discs and pads closely; the MOT record shows a serious weakening of the front disc in the latest test and repeated wear notes in earlier tests. Look for any scoring, cracking, or excessive thickness loss, and verify whether the discs have been replaced.
Examine all tyres for cuts, sidewall damage, and tread depth, especially the near‑side front tyre which has been recorded with a cut on several occasions, and the off‑side front tyre that was noted as close to the legal limit. Check the wheel rims for the distortion noted in the June 2026 test.
Review the suspension, particularly the off‑side front arm pin or bush, which was flagged as worn in the 2024 test. Any play or knocking could indicate the need for bush replacement. Also, assess the windscreen for the damage mentioned in multiple MOTs, ensuring it does not impair visibility.
This 2019 black Fiat 500 has logged 175,243 miles, which is far above the model’s average annual mileage of 4,904 miles. The MOT record shows several recurring issues, notably brake disc wear that escalated to a serious failure in the most recent test, multiple tyre cuts and near‑legal tyre wear, and a suspension arm wear advisory. While the latest MOT was passed, the simultaneous failure for the front brake disc highlights a significant safety concern. The vehicle’s Euro 6 petrol engine meets current emissions standards, but the overall condition suggests considerable upcoming maintenance.
The Fiat 500 model has an average MOT pass rate of 78.2%, indicating that roughly one in five vehicles fails a test each year; this vehicle shows a higher-than‑average incidence of failures.

Historical MOT pass rates and DVLA records for 2019 model year cars.
- MultiAir / TwinAir Actuator FailureSerious
The hydraulic valve control system is sensitive to oil quality. Sludge build-up causes the unit to fail, requiring full replacement.
- Tailgate Wiring Loom DamageModerate
Wires inside the rubber boot between the body and tailgate snap over time due to repeated opening.
- Front suspension bush and ball-joint wearModerate
Front suspension bushes and ball joints wear prematurely on the facelifted 500, causing knocking over bumps and vague steering. The bumper often needs removing to access the bushes, pushing up labour costs.
