Our Verdict
A solid option for a small city car, provided the service history matches the clean MOT record. The consistent pass rate without defects over the last four years is a positive indicator for this specific vehicle.
When inspecting this 1.2L petrol model, focus on verifying the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOTs show no defects, you should still check for any evidence of oil leaks or unusual engine noise, which are common areas of interest for older small-capacity petrol engines.
Negotiate based on the age of the vehicle; at nearly 18 years old, even with a clean MOT history, rubber components and seals may be nearing the end of their natural lifespan. Ensure that the recent 91,599-mile milestone has been met with regular oil changes to protect the engine.
The 1242cc engine is generally economical for urban driving, though real-world fuel economy will depend heavily on driving style. Being an older 2008 model, tax bands and insurance groups are typically moderate, making it an affordable choice for newer drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs for the Fiat 500 tend to be manageable, though you should budget for wear-and-tear items. Given the model aggregate data, be prepared for potential costs related to suspension components or lighting as the vehicle ages.
Based on aggregate data for this model, pay close attention to the suspension system, specifically the shock absorbers and suspension arms, as these are frequent failure points across the Fiat 500 range. Although this specific vehicle has had no such failures recorded in its recent history, they are common issues to monitor.
Additionally, check the condition of the headlamps. While this car passed its 2025 MOT with no defects, headlight degradation is a top reason for failure in this model type. Finally, inspect the tyres and brakes to ensure they align with the relatively consistent mileage progression seen in the MOT records.
This 2008 black Fiat 500 features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 91,599 miles as of its last test in January 2025. The MOT history for this individual registration is notably clean, showing four consecutive passes between 2022 and 2025 with no recorded defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 4,992 miles per year, the recent history shows steady, predictable usage.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.9% across the fleet, with common failures often involving shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms.
