The FIAT 500 (2008-16) 3DR HATCHBACK 1.4 16V 100 LOUNGE AUTO5 is a small, three-door city car with distinctive retro styling. In the UK used-car market, it offers a more characterful alternative to practical staples such as the Volkswagen up! and Toyota Aygo, while its automatic gearbox may suit drivers wanting easier stop-start motoring. Mycarcheck.com recorded 96 look-ups covering 38 different VINs, a useful sample of checking activity rather than a measure of every car on the road. These checks show an average private-sale valuation of £3,400 and average recorded mileage of 60,000 miles; average annual mileage is low at 3,000 miles. The cars had around 4.3 previous keepers on average, so checking the history and condition of each example is especially worthwhile. Its compact size makes parking simple, and the Lounge trim adds style. It is best suited to everyday commuters and couples who value character over family-sized space.
