Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the low mile
The primary concern with this vehicle is the repetition of advisories. The Nearside Rear shock absorber has been flagged for oil misting in 2022, 2023, and 2025, suggesting the issue has not been rectified. Similarly, tyre cracking and perishing have appeared in every test since 2022. You should negotiate the price based on the immediate need for new tyres and a replacement shock absorber.
Verify the service history to see if the front brake discs and pads, which were noted as worn or pitted in both 2024 and 2025, have been replaced. Given the low mileage, these components are likely wearing due to age and corrosion rather than heavy use, which is common for cars that spend long periods stationary.
The 1242cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency and low emissions, typically placing it in a lower VED tax bracket and a competitive insurance group. Maintenance for the Fiat 500 is generally straightforward, though the MOT history here suggests a need for attention to consumables like brakes and tyres.
Annual running costs will be relatively low due to the small engine size and the vehicle's low usage profile. However, buyers should budget for the rectification of the outstanding MOT advisories immediately after purchase.
Carefully inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracking and 'perishing', as this has been a recurring MOT advisory from 2022 through 2025. Specifically, check the Nearside Rear shock absorber for signs of oil leakage, as this has been flagged in three separate tests.
Examine the front brake discs for pitting or scoring and check the pad thickness, as these were flagged in the 2024 and 2025 tests. Finally, listen for any leaks from the rear exhaust system, which was noted as having a minor leak during the December 2024 inspection.
This red 2014 Fiat 500 has covered 36,908 miles, which is well below the average annual mileage for this model. Although it has passed its last four MOT tests, the records show recurring advisories for perishing tyres and a misting rear shock absorber. The vehicle's history suggests a pattern of low usage that may have contributed to rubber components degrading.
The Fiat 500 has an average MOT pass rate of 77.9%, with common failure points being shock absorbers and tyres, both of which are present in this vehicle's history.
