Our Verdict
Highly recommended for those seeking a low-mileage city car with a clean-record MOT history. This example represents a solid choice provided the service history has been maintained despite the low usage.
When inspecting this specific vehicle, the primary focus should be verifying that the low mileage is consistent with the service history. Because the car has covered much less than the average 5,003 miles per year, you should check for signs of age-related wear, such as perished rubber components or seals that degrade over time regardless of mileage. Ensure there is a full service history to confirm that oil changes were performed annually, even if the mileage threshold wasn't met.
Negotiate based on the condition of the tyres and brakes, as these are common areas of wear on the Fiat 500. Since the last MOT was in late 2021, ask the owner for the most recent test results to ensure no new issues have developed since the last record.
The 1242cc petrol engine is relatively cost-efficient for city driving, typically falling into a lower insurance group suitable for various drivers. Expect moderate fuel economy, though the car's aerodynamics can impact figures on longer journeys.
Maintenance costs for the Fiat 500 are generally low, with parts being widely available and affordable. Your estimated annual running cost is projected between £700 and £900, depending on your specific insurance bracket and annual mileage.
Pay close attention to the shock absorbers, as aggregate data identifies them as a top reason for MOT failure on this model. Check for any leaks or excessive bouncing. You should also inspect the headlamps for alignment and brightness, as this is another frequent failure point in the modelwide data.
Check the tyres for uneven wear, which could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Given the low mileage, inspect the interior plastics for cracking and the exterior trim for fading, which can occur on cars that sit stationary for long periods.
This 2013 Fiat 500 shows significantly below-average mileage, with only 31,243 miles recorded as of 2021. The most recent MOT record from November 2021 passed with no defects recorded, suggesting a high standard of presentation at that point in time. The 1.2L engine is a common choice for this model, offering simplicity for urban driving.
The Fiat 500 is generally regarded as reliable for city use, though external components like shock absorbers and headlamps are common failure points.
