Our Verdict
This is a strong candidate for a buyer l
Given the low mileage, your primary focus should be on ensuring the vehicle has had regular oil changes, as infrequent use can sometimes lead to engine sludge. Check the service book for any evidence of scheduled maintenance that aligns with the low mileage recorded.
When inspecting this specific 1.2L petrol variant, check the condition of the tyres and brakes, as low-mileage cars can sometimes suffer from age-related degradation (like the perishing noted in the 2024 MOT) rather than wear-and-tear. Negotiate based on the age of the rubber if the tyres look cracked despite having plenty of tread.
The 1242cc petrol engine is typically found in a lower insurance group, making it suitable for younger drivers or those seeking economy. Fuel economy for this model is generally acceptable for urban driving, though actual figures will depend on driving style.
Maintenance costs for the Fiat 500 are generally moderate, though you should budget for common items like tyres and shock absorbers, which are noted as frequent failure points across the wider Fiat 500 model population. Estimated annual running costs are relatively low due to the small engine size and modest mileage.
Pay close attention to the tyres; the 2024 MOT history specifically flagged an offside front tyre for damage/cracking, so ensure all four tyres are free from perishing or sidewall damage.
Additionally, because shock absorbers are a top MOT failure reason for this model aggregate, check for any knocks or excessive bouncing when testing the suspension. Finally, verify that the headlamps are clear and functioning correctly, as this is another common failure point for the Fiat 500 fleet.
This 2015 red Fiat 500 with the 1.2L petrol engine has covered 20,290 miles as of April 2026. This is significantly lower than the model average of 4,997 miles per year. The MOT record shows a consistent pattern of passing, with only a single recorded defect regarding a tyre in November 2024.
Aggregate data for the Fiat 500 shows a 77.8% MOT pass rate, with shock absorbers, tyres, and headlamps being the most frequent reasons for failure.
