Our Verdict
This 2014 Fiat 500 is a reasonable prosp
When inspecting this Fiat 500, pay close attention to the suspension and tyre condition, as these have been recurring items in the MOT history. Check for uneven tyre wear, which may indicate tracking issues that need professional alignment. Additionally, ensure the exhaust system is checked for any signs of the emissions issues noted in the 2025 test.
Verify if the vehicle has a consistent service history to support the mileage. Given that Fiat 500s are prone to suspension arm and shock absorber wear, test drive the car on uneven surfaces to listen for any knocking sounds from the front or rear ends. Negotiate the price based on the need for potential future suspension work.
The 875cc engine is designed for economy, making this a cost-effective vehicle for urban commuting. As a 2014 model, it falls into a moderate tax bracket depending on its CO2 emissions, and insurance groups for the 500 range are generally accessible for most drivers.
Maintenance costs should be manageable, though owners should budget for regular tyre replacements and suspension component refreshes, which are common failure points for this model. You should estimate an annual running cost of approximately £1,100–£1,300, accounting for fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing.
Focus your inspection on the front and rear shock absorbers, as 'misting' has been flagged in previous MOT tests. While misting is not always an immediate failure, it is a precursor to a leak and may require replacement soon. Check the inner edges of the tyres for uneven wear, as this has been a recurring advisory.
Examine the exhaust system for any signs of corrosion or leaks, specifically looking at the lambda sensor area given the 2025 emissions failure. Ensure all exterior lighting is functional, as headlamp issues are a known weak point for the Fiat 500 platform according to aggregate data.
At 53,461 miles, this 2014 Fiat 500 has covered more distance than the typical model of its age, which averages 4,986 miles per year. The MOT record shows a mix of passes and one failure in 2025 related to emissions and suspension components. It is a common model on UK roads, and the data suggests that while it requires regular attention to consumables, it does not show a history of catastrophic failure.
The Fiat 500 has a general MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with suspension and lighting components being the most common areas for failure.
