Our Verdict
A recommended purchase for those seeking
Verify the service history to complement the MOT data, as the records only confirm roadworthiness and not general maintenance. Check for invoices relating to the August 2023 repairs for the offside front brake and offside rear shock absorber to ensure the work was completed to a professional standard. Given the 1.2L petrol engine's typical use in urban settings, check for evidence of frequent short-distance trips.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically placing the vehicle in a lower insurance group and a competitive road tax band. Maintenance costs for this model are generally moderate, although suspension components can be a recurring expense based on aggregate data. Annual costs are expected to be low compared to larger hatchbacks.
Carefully inspect the suspension and braking systems, as these caused the August 2023 MOT failure. Specifically, check the offside rear shock absorber for leaks and the offside front brake for any signs of uneven wear. Additionally, inspect the headlamps and suspension arms, as these are identified as common failure points across the wider FIAT 500 dataset of over 314,000 vehicles.
This red 2018 FIAT 500 has recorded 32,008 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. The vehicle has undergone five MOT tests, with one failure in August 2023 and four passes. Its total mileage is slightly below the model average of 4,986 miles per year.
The FIAT 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with shock absorbers and suspension arms being among the most frequent failure reasons.
