Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Focus your negotiations on the items listed as advisories in the November 2025 MOT. The front brake discs are noted as worn, pitted, or scored, and there is a confirmed minor leak in the front exhaust flexi, both of which will require professional repair. You should also verify the condition of the rear tyres, as the record explicitly mentions them as being damaged, cracking, or perishing.
Request full service records to see if the shock absorber failure noted in November 2024 was addressed with a pair or just a single unit. Given the age of the vehicle and the recent string of wear-and-tear issues, ensure you have a budget set aside for immediate consumables replacement.
The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, typically offering low fuel consumption. This model generally falls into a lower insurance group and tax band, making it an affordable option for city commuters.
Maintenance costs for this specific vehicle are likely to be higher in the short term due to the pending repairs for the exhaust and braking system. Typical annual running costs will include fuel, road tax, and the necessary maintenance to clear the current MOT advisories.
Perform a detailed inspection of the exhaust system to identify the location of the flexi leak and check the front brake discs for surface pitting. Since this vehicle failed its 2024 MOT due to a serious fluid leak in the nearside rear shock absorber, check for any signs of renewed leaking or instability in the rear suspension, which is a known common failure point for this model.
Additionally, test the passenger door operation from the outside to ensure the failure recorded on 24th November 2025 was fully resolved. Finally, check the date codes on the rear tyres to determine if they need immediate replacement due to the perishing noted in the MOT history.
This white 2013 Fiat 500 has covered 76,461 miles, which is slightly above the model average. The MOT history shows a clean pass in 2023, but subsequent tests in 2024 and 2025 record failures related to shock absorbers and door locks. The most recent test passed with a significant list of advisories regarding brakes, exhaust, and tyres.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with aggregate data showing shock absorbers and suspension arms as frequent points of failure.
