The Newer Fiat 500 post 2020 can take a good beating lol i had one as a hire car and thrashed the backside of it rallying it through Burnham Beeches forest near Slough , I loved how it drove so much i went and bought a 2013 version for £3 grand the problem is the 2013 versions are not reliable at all LOL gearbox and clutch i had to replace in the first week dealer gave me half the £800 in repairs back , then the rear shocks broke so they got replaced , just had to change coolant and oil and the cambelt is next on the list so im probably just going to get shot of it , 85 thousand is all its done but the previous owner never looked after it , I will be lucky to get £2 grand back sadly and its in a rare yellow colour with the Italian flags on the sides so it does look nice just a shame it is junk lol

Looks pretty good cosmetically apart from the kerb rash. . Be wary if you service it changing the oil. New 0W30 C2 oil can reveal/expose wear in the UniAir VVT unit (under the rocker cover.) If you have the MultiECUscan I would recommend NOT to do the Oil Change reset feature as from my experience with misfiring on a cold engine after oil change.

Replace nearside front alloy. Maybe commute in it and keep eye on oil. After a year can’t imagine it’s still golden. Need to do vid with MES recalibrating uniair post oil change. Do over 5k miles the car knows fresh oil and goes into limp mode. Happened on both Pandas I had. If don’t put 0w 30 C2/C3 oil in it will age pretty quickly and you’d get code for oil pressure sensor. Mine was gone after that. Had enough of it. £3k good price and cross your fingers 6 months goes by.

Turn off DTC and see how it drives. then turn it back on. Check tyre pressures and tyres are correct. check for any leaks in transfer case, seals leaking is common, it could be saved with a new seal and new oil. Either way change the oil its not too difficult to change seals and oil in these. Get the oil from BMW about £40 a litre think they only take about 700ml so a leak can cause a significant issue.
