Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to a history of
When viewing this Fiat 500, prioritise a mechanical inspection of the front suspension and braking systems. The MOT records for this specific vehicle show repeated issues with brake discs being pitted or scored, as well as multiple failures related to suspension arm ball joints and bushes. You should ask for evidence that these specific components were replaced or repaired following the 2022 and 2023 failures.
Negotiate based on the frequency of repairs required to pass the MOT. Given the recorded failure regarding a passenger door that could not be opened from the outside in late 2023, check all door handles and locking mechanisms thoroughly. Additionally, verify that the exhaust system issues noted in 2022, including a corroded rear box and minor gas leak, have been fully resolved and are not currently an advisory.
As a 1.3L diesel, this Fiat 500 is designed for efficiency, making it a relatively economical choice for longer motorway journeys compared to petrol variants. However, running costs will be heavily influenced by the vehicle's age and the potential for more frequent maintenance of wear-and-tear items like suspension and brakes.
Expect typical diesel maintenance costs, including periodic timing belt changes and fuel filter replacements. While the tax band for a 1248cc diesel will vary depending on specific CO2 emissions, you should confirm the exact annual rate. Total annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, are estimated to be in the mid-range for a small hatchback.
Focus heavily on the front end of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a recurring theme of worn or pitted brake discs on both the nearside and offside front wheels across multiple years. Check the thickness of the discs and ensure there is no excessive vibration when braking.
Inspect the suspension thoroughly. This vehicle has previously failed on ball joint play, worn suspension arm bushes, and a serious fluid leak from a nearside front shock absorber. Check for any signs of weeping from the dampers and listen for knocking sounds from the front axle when driving over uneven surfaces. Finally, check the exhaust system for any signs of the corrosion or leaks mentioned in the 2022 MOT record.
This 2010 white Fiat 500 1.3 MultiJet diesel has covered 94,369 miles since its first registration in September 2010. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring issues, specifically with front brake discs and suspension components. While it passed its most recent test in December 2023, the preceding failures suggest a need for consistent maintenance attention.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with common failure points including shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms.
