Insight summary

Fiat 500 Mhev is a scarce model in this snapshot, with 15,036 represented vehicles and 0.04% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 91.0% from 2,351 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 50. The current pool shows an average of 23,306 miles and an average age of 2.8 years. Petrol leads the fuel split, followed by hybrid electric, and the most frequent defect themes are tyre condition, lighting and windscreen damage. The practical read is that the Fiat 500 Mhev looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
