2015 Fiat 500

Bought new by the vendor in 2015, the car has covered just 3,753 miles.

The vendor is only selling because of a change in her circumstances.

To give you an idea of how sparingly it’s been used, on the occasion of its first MoT in 2018, it had covered 2,169 miles.

It is in very good overall condition that far better reflects its miniscule mileage than its age.

Consequently, what you’re looking at is a car that’s effectively showroom-fresh, bar the odd stone chip, and has barely been run-in.

The bodywork is pristine and there are no dents, creases or dinks of any significance to report anywhere that we can see.

The shut-lines and panel gaps are as crisp and consistent as you would hope and wish to find.

The white paintwork is mostly shiny and bright.

If it wasn’t for a couple of small blemishes to the lacquer on the bonnet and one or two stone chips here and there, you’d be forgiven for thinking that it must have left the factory in the last few months - not 8 years ago.

As you would expect of a car that has led a particularly unhurried and sedate life, the lights, lenses, badging and trim are all immaculate and beyond reproach.

The wheels, too, are in fine condition and seem to be unacquainted with any kerbs or other hazards.

Unsurprisingly, the tyres look to have plenty of life left in them.

The good news continues uninterrupted on the rather stylish and tastefully appointed interior.

The cream and black trim is in excellent condition.

So, too, is the black and white check fabric on the seats, which are comfortable, supportive and functional, front and back.

The headlining is untroubled by use or the passage of time, as are the door cards, carpets and mats.

The steering wheel, gear selector, dashboard, dials and controls are all in fine fettle.

As far as we’re aware, every button, toggle, switch and dial does what it’s supposed to at the first time of asking.

As you would expect, the boot is every bit as good as the rest of it.

The engine bay looks clean, dry and as you would hope to find in a car that’s yet to reach 4000 miles. Everything appears to be in its right and proper place.

The undersides of the car seem to have plenty of structural integrity and look as if they’ve spent most of their time avoiding road surfaces (they have).

This car hasn’t been used enough to have much history.

It has a stamped service book but there are no bills for maintenance or repair because it hasn’t required any.

It comes with a set of manuals and handbooks, a clear HPI check old, a V5 and an online trail of MoT certificates.

There is a complimentary car valeting pack in the boot!

Its current MoT is valid until 28.8.24.

Aside from the odd stone chip here and a few small spots of tarnished lacquer there, this car looks minty fresh all over and has the very, very low mileage to back up its aesthetic claims to being in excellent condition.

There are all sorts of reasons for buying a Fiat 500: style, charm, practicality, fun, to name just a few.

There are a few extra reasons why you should buy this particular example.

You’ll be a long time waiting to find one with lower miles and better condition, we suspect.

And we think this would be a really good gift of a first car to a student or young person looking to start off their motoring future in the right way.

We’re confident to offer this splendid car for auction with an estimate of £5,000 - £10,000.
