Our Verdict

Given the low annual mileage, it is important to verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been carried out at regular intervals regardless of distance. You should check for any documentation regarding the repair of the distorted nearside front wheel noted in 2021.
Negotiate based on the age of the tyres and any evidence of the rear axle corrosion mentioned in the 2025 records. Ensure that the vehicle has a complete history of ownership and that all previous MOT advisories have been addressed.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and falling into a modest tax bracket. Insurance groups for the Fiat 500 are generally low, making it an affordable option for new or young drivers.
Maintenance costs are usually manageable, though you should budget for the replacement of wear-and-tear items. Based on typical costs for this engine and model, the estimated annual expenditure is relatively low.
Perform a visual inspection of the rear axle to assess the level of corrosion noted in the January 2025 MOT. Check the front wheels and tyres carefully, specifically the nearside front, to ensure the distortion recorded in 2021 was correctly rectified.
Additionally, inspect the shock absorbers and suspension arms for leaks or play, as these are identified as top failure reasons across the wider Fiat 500 population. Check the headlamps for clarity and operation, as these are also common failure points for this model.
This white 2016 Fiat 500 1.2L petrol has covered 29,940 miles as of its last MOT in January 2026. The vehicle has a history of five MOT tests, all of which resulted in a pass. While the records show previous issues with wheel distortion and axle corrosion, the most recent test was completed with no defects recorded.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failures typically linked to shock absorbers and suspension components.
