Our Verdict
This 2011 Fiat 500 presents a generally
When inspecting this Fiat 500, verify the service history to see how frequently engine and gearbox oil levels have been checked, given the repeated advisory notes regarding engine and gearbox oil leaks noted in both 2024 and 2025. Check the suspension components thoroughly, as front strut bushes and lower suspension arm pins have generated advisory notices across multiple years. Negotiate on the price if replacement tyres or suspension rectification work is needed imminently, keeping in mind the advisory history for the nearside front tyre and rear shock absorber bushes.
The 875cc petrol engine sits in a low insurance group and generally offers favorable fuel economy for urban driving. Vehicle Excise Duty should be modest given the engine size and age. Typical maintenance costs will be standard for a popular city car, though potential buyers should set aside funds for addressing the noted oil leaks and suspension bush wear to prevent them escalating into failures. Estimated annual running cost is around £900-£1,100, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Pay close attention to the areas highlighted in recent MOT records. Inspect the engine and gearbox for the source of the non-excessive oil leaks noted in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Examine the front and rear suspension systems, specifically checking the Macpherson strut pins, bushes, and shock absorbers, which have drawn persistent advisories regarding light oil misting and worn bushes. Finally, check all four tyres for cuts, perishing, or wear close to the legal limit, as tyre condition has been a recurring feature of the vehicle's MOT history.
First registered in May 2011, this black Fiat 500 is powered by an 875cc petrol engine and has covered 36,325 miles as of its July 2025 MOT. The vehicle has achieved a pass on all four of its most recent annual tests recorded between 2022 and 2025. While it has avoided outright test failures, the history contains consistent advisories regarding suspension bushes, minor fluid leaks, and tyre condition.
The Fiat 500 model demonstrates an aggregate MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with shock absorbers, tyres, and headlamps forming the most common failure reasons.
