Fiat 500 Pop (2015)
2015 Fiat 500 Pop
CarHunch analysed 298 real MOT records for the 2015 Fiat 500 Pop. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2015 Fiat 500 Pop is a reliability concern—only 61.7% pass their MOT first time, well below the UK average of 80%, and it's earning a median CarHunch score of just 50. The good news is that dangerous defects are virtually absent from the dataset, so safety-critical failures aren't the problem here.
At 40,166 miles on average, these cars have covered relatively modest distance for their age, yet they're still accumulating 0.52 failures per vehicle on test. The pattern suggests this model is prone to routine mechanical and wear-related issues rather than catastrophic defects—light service history and preventive maintenance checks before purchase would be essential due diligence.
What to check before buying a 2015 Fiat 500 Pop
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
