Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a check of the exhaust system and the condition of the front tyres, as both were flagged as advisories in January 2026. You should also verify that the engine management light (MIL) issue recorded in January 2025 was fully diagnosed and repaired rather than simply reset, as this can indicate underlying sensor or engine faults.
Negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new front tyres and exhaust repair. Given the history of suspension failures, ensure there is documented evidence of the wishbone and coil spring replacements mentioned in the MOT records.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and falling into a reasonable tax bracket for its age. Insurance groups for the Fiat 500 are generally low, making it an affordable entry-level city car.
However, the maintenance costs for this specific vehicle may be higher than average. The MOT history shows a frequency of failures relating to suspension and lighting, suggesting that annual upkeep may exceed the typical costs for this model.
Conduct a thorough inspection of the undercarriage. The vehicle has a history of corroded rear coil springs and a worn offside front wishbone ball joint; ensure these replacements were carried out to a professional standard. The January 2026 MOT specifically noted a minor exhaust leak that needs checking.
Check all external lighting, including the stop lamps and headlamps, as these have been recurring failure points in 2025 and 2026. Finally, check the tread depth of the front tyres, as they were noted as being close to the legal limit during the last test.
This white 2013 Fiat 500 has recorded 95,075 miles, which is significantly higher than the model average. The MOT history shows a challenging period between January 2025 and January 2026, with multiple failures involving corroded coil springs, worn suspension joints, and engine management warnings. The most recent test passed with advisories for an exhaust leak and worn front tyres.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with frequent failures typically associated with shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms.
