Fiat 500 Sport MHEV (2021)
2021 Fiat 500 Sport MHEV
CarHunch analysed 893 real MOT records for the 2021 Fiat 500 Sport MHEV. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Fiat 500 Sport MHEV is a strong performer, with a 90.4% first-time pass rate that comfortably beats the UK average of 80%, and only 13.3% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well within acceptable limits for a vehicle of this age. The petrol version's 90.1% pass rate confirms the powertrain is sound across the board.
At just under 21,000 miles on average, these cars are lightly used for their age, which partly explains the clean MOT record; more tellingly, the low failure rate of 0.26 per vehicle suggests owners aren't facing surprise repair bills. Before buying, check the service history carefully—these figures indicate well-maintained examples, so gaps in records would be a genuine red flag.
What to check before buying a 2021 Fiat 500 Sport MHEV
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.
