The FIAT 500 (2008-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V 100 POP is a small, three-door city car, blending retro-inspired Italian styling with everyday hatchback practicality. It sits among Britain’s best-known compact cars, appealing to drivers who want something more characterful than basic transport while remaining easy to park and manoeuvre around town. The 1.4-litre engine gives this POP a livelier feel than the more modest 500 versions, making it suited to urban errands, commuting and occasional longer trips. Its compact cabin and three-door layout work best for singles, couples or first-time buyers; families may find rear access and space less convenient. Compared with rivals such as the Ford Ka, it stands out for its distinctive looks and cheerful personality. mycarcheck.com checks cover 143 look-ups across 63 distinct VINs. The average private-sale value is £2,100, and recorded mileage averages 85,000 miles, with 6,000 miles driven yearly and 4.7 previous keepers. These figures offer a helpful snapshot of used FIAT 500 examples checked through the service.
