Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring su
When viewing this vehicle, pay close attention to the suspension and engine mounting points, as these have been flagged in recent MOT tests. The 1.2-litre diesel engine requires a strict service schedule to avoid issues with the DPF and turbocharger; ensure any provided service history corroborates the mileage and frequency of oil changes.
Negotiate the final price based on the current state of the windscreen, which has been flagged with scratches for two consecutive years, and the potential need for further suspension work. It is advisable to have an independent mechanic inspect the bushes and linkages specifically, as these are known weak points for the Fiat 500L platform.
As a diesel model, this 500L may offer competitive fuel economy on longer motorway journeys, though it may be less efficient in stop-start urban traffic. You should check the vehicle's specific VED (Road Tax) band based on its CO2 emissions, as diesel taxation can vary significantly for vehicles of this age.
Insurance costs will depend on your personal profile, but the 500L typically sits in a moderate group for its class. Budget for higher maintenance costs than a petrol equivalent, particularly regarding the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and the suspension components that have shown wear in recent MOT records.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension arms and anti-roll bar linkages, as the vehicle has previously failed for excessive wear in these areas. Check the engine bay for signs of vibration or excessive movement, specifically around the lower engine mounting which caused a failure in December 2025.
Examine the tyres for uneven wear patterns, as the 2023 MOT recorded issues with edge wear on both the offside front and rear tyres. Finally, inspect the windscreen for the scratches noted in the last three MOT certificates to determine if the visibility is acceptable to you or if a replacement is necessary.
This 2013 Fiat 500L diesel has covered 105,940 miles since its first registration in December 2013. The MOT history highlights consistent issues with suspension components, tyres, and engine mountings over the last three years. Prospective buyers should weigh the utility of this family-focused model against the documented repair requirements observed in recent annual tests.
The Fiat 500L shows a typical failure profile for this model, with suspension arms and ball joints being among the most common MOT failure points in the wider dataset.
