The Fiat 500 is a style icon of the city-car world, offered on the used market as a long-running petrol and mild-hybrid model, the current 500 Hybrid, or the fully electric 500e. Browse checked, prepared used 500 models with Vertu, backed by our 14-day money-back promise and flexible finance.
Few small cars have the charm and character of the Fiat 500. Its retro-inspired design has made it one of the most recognisable and desirable city cars for well over a decade, and its compact size, low running costs and endless personalisation options have kept it a firm favourite.
The used market is where that appeal becomes most affordable, and it offers real breadth of choice. You can find the much-loved petrol and mild-hybrid hatchback, sold new until 2024, alongside the newer 500 Hybrid and the fully electric 500e, so there is a used 500 to suit almost any driver and budget.
Any remaining manufacturer warranty transfers to you as the new keeper, and every 500 at Vertu is prepared and checked before it reaches the forecourt. For a used car with genuine style and city-friendly running costs, the Fiat 500 is hard to beat.
Yes, particularly for city and short-commute drivers who want style without high costs. The choice of three distinct powertrains is the key thing to understand on the used market.
The long-running petrol 500, sold until 2024, includes an economical 1.0-litre mild-hybrid producing 69bhp, ideal for low-cost city motoring. The 2025 500 Hybrid uses a 1.0-litre mild-hybrid petrol engine returning up to 53.3mpg. The fully electric 500e, a separate and newer model, offers up to 199 miles of range on its larger battery with zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving.
Every used 500 sold by Vertu is checked before it reaches the forecourt as part of our used car preparation process, covering no outstanding finance, no history as a taxi, and no salvage or write-off record. With that preparation and any remaining warranty, a used 500 is a low-risk, characterful buy.
The 500's range suits several kinds of driver. The table below pairs four of them with the version that fits best.
| Buyer Type | Why the 500 Fits |
|---|---|
| New and younger drivers | The petrol 500 sits in low insurance groups, is easy to drive and cheap to run, ideal for first-time buyers. |
| City drivers going electric | The 500e offers up to 199 miles of range, rapid charging and zero tailpipe emissions whilst driving, perfect for town use. |
| Style-led buyers | Iconic design, chrome details and endless colour options give the 500 standout charm, especially in La Prima trim. |
| Open-air enthusiasts | The 500C convertible, offered across the range, adds a full-length folding fabric roof for open-top city driving. |
The 500 is designed to make small-car ownership feel special. Its compact dimensions make it effortless to park and thread through traffic, while the characterful, design-led cabin lifts it above more utilitarian rivals. Personalisation has always been central to the 500, so used examples come in a huge variety of colours and trims.
The newer 500 Hybrid and 500e feel a step more modern inside, with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and higher La Prima trims adding eco-leather seats, heated front seats and a wireless charger. The earlier petrol car offers a 7-inch touchscreen with smartphone mirroring on most versions.
Running costs stay low across the range, with the electric 500e cheapest of all to run for those who can charge at home. Once a 500 reaches Vertu it is inspected and prepared by our technicians before sale, including a battery-system check on the 500e, and servicing it through Vertu's colleagues helps protect any warranty still in place.
The used 500 spans three powertrains, each with its own character. The table below sets out the key differences to help you choose.
These details reflect the current and recent models. The petrol 500 was sold across a long production run with many trim names and special editions, so used examples vary widely; confirm the specification and powertrain of any specific car with your local dealership.

The fully electric 500e is offered with two battery sizes, and is the cheapest 500 to run for drivers who can charge at home. The table below sets out its key figures from Fiat's current data.
| Specification | 500e Small Battery | 500e Large Battery |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain & Range | ||
| Power | 70kW (95PS) | 87kW (118PS) |
| Electric range (WLTP, up to) | 118 miles | 199 miles |
| Charging & Warranty | ||
| Rapid charge (15-80%) | Around 30 minutes (up to 85kW DC) | Around 30 minutes (up to 85kW DC) |
| Battery warranty | 8 years / 100,000 miles | 8 years / 100,000 miles |

*Figures are drawn from Fiat's 2025 UK data. Actual range and charging times vary with weather, driving style, load, battery condition and charger output, so it is worth checking the state of health of any used electric example.
Every used Fiat 500 at Vertu goes through the same preparation before it reaches the forecourt, covered by our used car preparation policy. That means an HPI finance check, a full mechanical inspection, and confirmation the car has never been used as a taxi or recorded as a salvage or write-off.
