4 How it compares with other 2017 500s

Against every Fiat 500 first used in 2017 and tested in Great Britain in the 2025 test year (24,170 first-attempt tests) — the most recent full year available.

MeasureThis carTypical 2017 500What it means
Pass rate, first attempts4 of 8 (50%)73.9% in 2025Lower than the group figure
Fails, first attempts2 of 822.3% of first testsIn line with the group figure
Fixed during the test (PRS)23.9% of first tests2 on this record
Mileage at its latest test (25 Sept 2026)57,221 miles41,848 (middle half 29,960–55,326)Above the middle half; not an outlier
Clean passes (no advisories)0 of 836.5% of first testsLower than the group figure

"Typical" is every Fiat 500 first used in 2017, any fuel or use — not adjusted for mileage. This car's figures are from its own record only. A first attempt is any test not within 10 days after a failed test of this car. A first attempt whose faults were all put right during the test counts as fixed during the test (PRS), not as a fail, as in DVSA's figures.

Check before you buy — for this car

  1. On this carBrakes. advisory recorded in the last two years (2021, 2022, 2026). Worth looking at the discs and pads through the wheel spokes for scoring and a worn lip, and noticing on a test drive whether the car pulls to one side or the pedal feels long.
  2. On this carSuspension & steering. major item, advisory recorded in the last two years (2023, 2024, 2026). Worth looking behind each wheel with a torch at the coil springs and bushes, and listening for knocks over bumps on a test drive.
  3. On this carTyres. advisory recorded in the last two years (2020, 2022, 2025). Worth checking the tread depth across the whole width of each tyre, and the sidewalls for cuts, cracks and bulges.

About this page

This is the public record for one vehicle, drawn from two free government sources: DVLA (loaded when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA") for the registration — make, year, colour, fuel, emissions, tax and MOT status — and DVSA for every MOT result and mileage reading since 2005. Nothing here costs anything, and nothing here identifies the keeper.

What it cannot tell you is the commercial history: outstanding finance, insurance write-offs and stolen markers. Those come from Experian and are not public. They are the difference between a car you can drive and a car you can lose — see SortedCars Reports, or read the longer guide on the free car check.

The DVLA and DVSA data on this page contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. SortedCars is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, the DVLA or DVSA.

This page shows vehicle information only — no keeper details and no vehicle identification number. Built on 26 October 2026 from the DVSA bulk MOT record as of 27 September 2026; DVLA fields load when someone presses "Check latest from DVLA & DVSA".
