Our Verdict
Recommended as a solid example of a city
Focus your attention on the suspension and tyres. The most recent MOT in November 2025 flagged a worn offside front lower suspension arm bush and a front tyre worn close to the legal limit; you should verify if these have been replaced since the test.
Check the service records for evidence of timing belt replacement, which is a critical maintenance item for this age of vehicle. Given the 2013 registration, ensure that all fluid changes have been performed regularly to support the engine's longevity.
The 875cc engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically resulting in low road tax and a modest insurance group. Fuel costs should remain low for typical city usage, though efficiency will vary based on driving style.
Maintenance costs are generally standard for a small petrol car, although the model's aggregate data suggests suspension components are a common wear item. Expect annual costs to cover tax, insurance, and routine servicing.
Carefully inspect the offside front lower suspension arm and the front tyres, as these were specifically noted as marginal or worn in the November 2025 MOT. This aligns with aggregate data showing suspension arms as a top failure reason for the Fiat 500.
Additionally, check the shock absorbers and headlamps, as these are also high-frequency failure points across the model range. Ensure the interior belts are fully functional, referencing the 2021 advisory regarding child seat obstructions.
This black 2013 Fiat 500 with an 875cc petrol engine has recorded 69,691 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle has passed five consecutive MOT tests between 2021 and 2025, showing a stable history. Its annual mileage is slightly higher than the model average of 4,986 miles.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with suspension arms and shock absorbers being common failure points.
