Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a review of the suspension system. The front shock absorbers have been flagged for oil misting in every test since January 2024, indicating they have not been replaced. You should also verify that the suspension arm and brake pad failures from January 2025 were rectified with quality parts, as these are critical safety components.
Use the current advisories regarding the offside rear tyre and defective headlamp lenses as points for price negotiation. Ensure the seller provides evidence of any maintenance performed between the MOT tests, as the records show several recurring issues that have been carried over from one year to the next.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for urban efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption and placing the vehicle in a reasonable tax bracket for its age. Insurance groups for the FIAT 500 are generally low, making it an affordable option for new drivers or city commuters.
Maintenance costs for this model are usually moderate, though the MOT data suggests that suspension components and lighting are common wear items. Expected annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be between £800 and £1,100.
Carefully inspect the front shock absorbers for signs of oil leaks, as this has been a consistent advisory since early 2024. Check the offside rear tyre for cracking or wear on the edge, as this was flagged as close to the legal limit in June 2026. Examine both front headlamp lenses for the defects noted in the most recent MOT.
Given the January 2025 failure, check the front suspension arms for any signs of premature wear or poor-quality replacement parts. A test drive should focus on any unusual noises or instability from the front end, which would correlate with the recorded suspension and shock absorber issues.
This 2010 black FIAT 500 has recorded 59,026 miles, which is below the model's average annual mileage. The MOT history includes a failure in January 2025 due to worn brake pads and suspension arm issues. Recent tests show persistent advisories regarding shock absorber oil misting and tyre condition.
The FIAT 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.8%, with shock absorbers, headlamps, and suspension arms identified as the most common failure points.
