Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the most rec
Prioritise checking the service history for evidence of timing belt replacement, which is critical for this diesel engine at this mileage. You should specifically ask for proof that the 'play in steering rack inner joint' noted in the January 2025 MOT was addressed, as this is a key safety component.
Negotiate the price based on the high mileage relative to other FIAT 500s of this age. Ensure that the recent wheel bearing replacement in January 2026 is documented with an invoice to confirm the quality of the parts used.
The 1.6L diesel engine is designed for efficiency, offering lower fuel costs per mile than the petrol variants, though it may face more stringent emissions charges in certain UK city zones. Insurance groups for the FIAT 500 are typically affordable, but maintenance costs will be higher for this specific car due to its mileage.
Expect higher annual spending on wear-and-tear items such as tyres, brakes, and suspension components, which have already shown signs of fatigue in the MOT history. The estimated annual running cost includes fuel, road tax, insurance, and anticipated maintenance.
Carefully inspect the braking system; the MOT history recorded worn and pitted front discs in both 2024 and 2025, as well as thin rear pads in 2024. Verify if these were replaced or simply managed as advisories.
Check the suspension and steering for any knocks or play, specifically referencing the offside front wheel bearing failure from January 2026 and the steering rack inner joint advisory from 2025. Given the model aggregate data showing frequent shock absorber and suspension arm failures, a thorough underside inspection is recommended.
This 2014 black FIAT 500 diesel has recorded 123,534 miles, which is substantially above the model average. The MOT history shows a pattern of brake disc wear and pitting between 2024 and 2025, alongside a recent wheel bearing failure in January 2026. The vehicle's record indicates typical wear and tear associated with its high mileage.
Based on aggregate data, this model has a 77.8% MOT pass rate, with common failure points typically involving shock absorbers and suspension arms.
